When using a zvol to back a btrfs filesystem the btrfs mount would hang. This was due to the bio completion callback used in btrfs assuming that lower level drivers would never modify the bio->bi_io_vecs after they were submitted via bio_submit(). If they are modified btrfs will miscalculate which pages need to be unlocked resulting in a hang. It's worth mentioning that other file systems such as ext[234] and xfs work fine because they do not make the same assumption in the bio completion callback. The most straight forward way to fix the issue is to present the semantics expected by btrfs. This is done by cloning the bios attached to each request and then using the clones bvecs to perform the required accounting. The clones are freed after each read/write and the original unmodified bios are linked back in to the request.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
