System becomes unresponsive for a while during and after update

You find good Information about Btrfs in the wiki

Did you check how full your btrfs is ?

Maybe you are near EOSPC ? Then btrfs will have a lot to do after an update :wink:

Tip: Check how close you are to “out of space”. Look at Device unallocated: (not at Free (estimated): ) (Could not boot due to brfs no-space condition. How should I keep using BTRFS? - #7 by andreas85)
