The commit in mainline is: 4da2e26 btrfs: Continue write in case of can_not_nocow
I built a Xenial test kernel with a pick of 4da2e26. The test kernel can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1584052/ Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584052 Title: btrfs: file write crashes with false ENOSPC during snapshot creation since kernel 4.4 - fix available Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: Kernel 4.4 introduced a btrfs bug where a process writing a file while a snapshot creation is underway will receive a false ENOSPC error (No space left on device), even while there is plenty of free space on the file system. On systems where snapshots are created frequently, this leads to frequent database crashes (here with MySQL): 2016-05-19T21:00:01.862106Z 0 [Warning] InnoDB: Retry attempts for writing partial data failed. 2016-05-19T21:00:01.862133Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Write to file ./ibdata1failed at offset 1048576, 16384 bytes should have been written, only 0 were written. Operating system error number 28. Check that your OS a nd file system support files of this size. Check also that the disk is not full or a disk quota exceeded. 2016-05-19T21:00:01.862143Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Error number 28 means 'No space left on device' The problem is well known: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg52672.html A patch is available: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7967161/ The patch has been committed to the Linux Kernel source tree on Feb 18, 2016: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/fs/btrfs/file.c Creating snapshots for undo and backup purposes without interrupting database operations is a central aspect of btrfs usage. This bug breaks server operations and should be fixed in the xenial kernel.
