btrfs-cleaner frequently stuck at 100% CPU after 6.4.0 upgrade
Since I upgraded my RN102 to 6.4.0 last night I frequently have trouble reaching the admin interface, and my laptop has reported not being able to reach Time Machine. When I login by ssh and use ...
It seems like I found a way to get rid of the hanging btrfs-cleaner: After switching off quota
btrfs quota disable /data
btrfs-cleaner did never show up again (in top).
(After booting I usualy had about a minute to issue the command before btrfs-cleaner did spawn and prevented the command to respond.)
I did not intentionally enable quota - i guess it was enabled by default.
Good luck,

PS: Maybe the problem is known by Netgear - in their "FAQs on recently released firmware 6.4.0" (see link on top of page) they talk about "... this is likely due to the ReadyNAS performing a quota check".
Some websites also describe problems with quota and btrfs (Rockstor forum), other sites cite the quota support in btrfs as experimental (but these might be out of date).

Apparently 6.4.1 is now out and has fixed this issue...
Upgraded to 6.4.1
Btrfscleaner stopped using 100% cpu but now I have kworker/u4:4 using 98% or more
And one of the volumes shows Calculating instead of free space
Hi Airat,
Sorry to hear that...
6.4.1 also fixed my btrfs-cleaner issue, but I have not encountered the kworker process issue that you are having...
So far, 6.4.1 seems stable on my side, but I am keeping an eye on it and will watch the kworker process as well.
