Public bug reported: I have an underlying btrfs filesystem which is mounted across 3 Ubuntu machines via NFSv4. I was running an application that caches some intermediate results on the disk; it produces about 5 files/sec (combined total across the three machines), each file is about 100k. The files are deleted randomly in groups of 30, and there is some directory creation/deletion mixed in. So the filesystem is moderately busy (but with some visible pauses).
After several hours of this, the application fails, claiming "no space". When I looked, shortly afterwards, though, there was still 25% free space. Also, the system was very slow, because things were wedged and timing out in the kernel. Dmesg had some interesting messages (attached as dmesg.txt). A reboot fixes the immediate problems. This has now happened twice in a row, with a reboot in between.
