      Hello - I was having this issue of a balance causing the NAS 4360 to not be accessible via NFS via Linux clients.  I used the btrfs fi balance cancel /data which worked fine.  Things were fine until today cpu is @ 100% 5 hours later on the rpc.mountd process and NFS file sys access is extremely slow. It started this morning @7am and is still 100% on rpc.mountd process. I don't see this process even running on a mirror 4360 system.  Any ideas what might be causing this?  Would a reboot help?  Thanks!
