This is btrfs with kernel 3.19. (.0-trunk from Debian), on a single volume (on top of LVM but that should not matter). I do this, on a freshly-booted system: # mount /foo # cd foo # rsync -aPHAX . /bar [ after an hour or so ] ^C # cd .. # fuser -m /foo # ps ax | grep "[ /]rsync" # umount /foo umount: /dev/mapper/data-foo: target is busy # Any idea what could possible be going on here?
