The error code indicates that a nilfs delete routine unexpectedly met a hole block or failed to translate vblocknr to on-disk block address while it is truncating btree of a huge file. Maybe GC is involved. I don't know the warning is relating to the freeze. This seems to require digging deeply into the function and GC, so I'll queue it at a bugtrack for now. Thanks for reporting.
