Hello,

I decided to test the 'defragment' feature on my system (after a huge number of 
system updates and prelinking):

        find /bin /sbin /lib /usr/lib /usr/bin /usr/sbin -type d -exec btrfs 
filesystem defragment '{}' '+'

I have already defragmented a couple of (very large) directories with no errors 
at all, so this was expected to work somehow. Surprisingly, this time there 
were thousands of messages like this:

        ioctl failed on <directory name> ret -1 errno 28

Most of the reported directories had zero files/subdirectories. However, *most* 
of them were *not* empty...

What does this error message mean? Could someone shed more light on this, 
please? Should I get ready for a bad crash? ;-) (There seems to be no data loss 
so far. No new messages in dmesg, no unexpected system behavior.)

Andrej
