I'm far from an expert here, but perhaps you would be worth trying a newer version of the BTRFS drivers, either via a newer kernel or re-compiling a kernel with updated BTRFS patches. I would think that the simplest "quick test" to see if this would help you would be to get a snapshot from Ubuntu

Configuring default mount options..

2010-07-25 Thread A. James Lewis
