Concerning http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/31018, does this "bug" still exists?

Kernel 3.14
B: 2x HDD 1 TB
C: 1x SSD 256 GB

# make-bcache -B /dev/sda /dev/sdb -C /dev/sdc --cache_replacement_policy=lru
# mkfs.btrfs -d raid1 -m raid1 -L "BTRFS_RAID" /dev/bcache0 /dev/bcache1

I still have no "incomplete page write" messages in "dmesg | grep btrfs" and the checksums of some manually reviewed files are okay.

Who has more experiences about this?

Thanks,

I've been running two backup servers, with 25T and 20T of data, using
btrfs on bcache (writeback) for about 7 months. I periodically run btrfs
scrubs and backup verifies (SHA1 hashes) and have never had a corruption
issue.

My use of btrfs is simple, though, with no subvolumes and no btrfs level
raid. My bcache backing devices are LVM volumes that span multiple md
raid6 arrays. So, either the bug has been fixed or my configuration is
not susceptible.

I'm running kernel 3.15.5-200.fc20.x86_64.

After completely loosing my filesystem twice because of this bug, I gav=
e
up using btrfs on top of bcache (also writeback). In my case, I used to
have some subvolumes and some snapshot of these subvolumes, but not man=
y
of them. The btrfs mantra "backup, bakcup and backup" saved me.

Best regards,
