6.8.0 Kernel warning

Hello all,

 

There is something wrong in the was the 6.8.0 has been compiled. 6.7.5 has no such issues. Since this is a problem in the BTRFS module I believe this should be fixed asap in order to gice us the peace of mind that our data remains secure.

    Which NAS model? 

     

    I'm not seeing this on the RN52x, so it must be arm-specific.

      Indeed it might be ARM related, the models are RN102 and RN202, both are showing the same warnings.

        This issue is neither new nor common, but the message is new. The error has no effect on data safety or anything related to that.

         

        In the next firmware release 6.8.1 you should no longer see this message.
