Barry, Thank you for responding to this query. It's DEFINITELY APPRECIATED.
Yes. The bug is readily re-creatable. It happens during a backup operation. This happens via a script that does the work so it's reproducible. I have multiple ext4 partitions in this system (Vevobook S16) and backup each partition separately into a 24 TB external drive (one big btrfs partition) with tar and zstd (both a local build AND the distribution versions. Both panic'd the system... in the same spot). I frequently run "btrfs check /dev/sda1". This reported no errors found. At first I thought it was a file system corruption issue with /var so I copied that partition... removed all the files after verifying that the files DID get copied correctly without errors (they did). If I do this again, I'll do a copy and then a mke2fs on the partition. I copied the files back and immediately rebooted the system... and retried the backup, which, again, failed with a panic. I'll create a bug report and give what they suggest a try... and will report back here. Again, thanks for responding. Best regards, George... 1.
