Re: The Gnome problem with btrfs

[Leslie S Satenstein <lsatenstein yahoo com>]

Good morning Olaf, Adam,

What I cannot do is re-install an earlier Fedora release for testing, as they were on 3.24.  Why I am using Fedora 27 is,  I suppose noble.  What I am testing is the proposed "GO-Live" of Fedora 27, scheduled for October 31st.  I try to assist the Fedora team to produce a clean product.

My testing with ext4 and xfs for the identical Fedora ISO and software installation is CLEAN-- No aborts at all--clean. The ext4 version is the one I will be installing. 

 

As you mentioned, I can eliminate some extensions, but then for me, Gnome then becomes somewhat tedious to use. Vanilla Gnome is rich in functionality, but not where or how I like to use it. By the way, I do a fair amount of C programming and writing.  I recommend installing "TaskBar by zpydr" as the Gnome extension I would not want to live without. I have used TaskBar since Gnome 3.22.

An aside, I am a "he" Leslie, not a "she" Leslie, though it is irrelevant to this issue.

Any time I am asked to test, I can provide the time and diskspace. I do have more than one computer system

 

Regards

Dear Leslie,

you could try a different distribution with a different kernel version

to rule out, that it's a Fedora specific bug in i.e. their kernel. I

assume you had no problem with the former Fedora release on btrfs?

There are simply too many variables in this system to come to an

unambiguous conclusion.

Also, since you are using a lot of extensions, can you reduce the amount

to a smaller set causing the problem? Am I correct you assume you have

no problem without any extensions?

Kind regards,

Olaf
