Thanks for the information.

As an aside, I had it happen on a workstation that I was using to watch a 
movie over NFS.  Strangely the BTRFS hang caused video playback to pause.  I 
didn't expect a BTRFS issue like that to stop access to an NFS mount from 
another system.

Would it be locking up inside the VFS?
