Hello,
I have ubuntu oneiric and zfs unstable. I have put my home on zfs. All seems to work enough well now apart ubuntu-one, nomachine and x2go that have stopped working.

Are you using ppa:zfs-native/stable or ppa:zfs-native/daily?

The daily one, the stable had some serious bugs.

Okay, I will install ubuntu-one on my workstation to check what happens.

I suggest you to install also www.nomachine.com or x2go. They write a lot
of files in their dot directory.

Situation is getting worse. After today update (0.6.0-43) eclipse and intellij idea fails to start many times.
Eclipse complains that a .project has disappeared and periodically complains about "could not write metadata for project xxx". It seems to me that this bug happens when there are applications that write a lot in dot files or that do synchronous writes.

I confirm zfs is losing files and they are all .filename

I add an example of an eclipse error message:

Problems occurred while trying to save the state of the workbench.
Could not write metadata for '/camel-example-aggregate'.

I can't see how zfs could loose a file. But what might be happening is these applications are attempting to update a dot file by unlinking it and writing a new one. But for some reason the new file fails to get written because zfs returns an error on write. It would be interesting to see one of these file updates under strace to see what flags its using and what error zfs is returning.

The backtrace was an infinite loop of `vdev_queue_io_to_issue()` invoking
`zio_execute()` until it overran the stack. vdev_queue_io_to_issue() will ony
invoke `zio_execute()` on raidz vdevs when aggregation I/Os are generated to
improve aggregation continuity. These I/Os do not trigger any writes. However,
it appears that they can be generated in such a way that they recurse
infinitely upon return to `vdev_queue_io_to_issue()`. As a consequence, we see
the number of parents by 1 each time the recursion returns to
`vdev_raidz_io_start()`.

The backtrace was an infinite loop of `vdev_queue_io_to_issue()` invoking
`zio_execute()` until it overran the stack. vdev_queue_io_to_issue() will ony
invoke `zio_execute()` on raidz vdevs when aggregation I/Os are generated to
improve aggregation continuity. These I/Os do not trigger any writes. However,
it appears that they can be generated in such a way that they recurse
infinitely upon return to `vdev_queue_io_to_issue()`. As a consequence, we see
the number of parents by 1 each time the recursion returns to
`vdev_raidz_io_start()`.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t

depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

This occurred when ztest was simulating a scrub under heavy I/O load. Under
those circumstances, it was possible for a mix of noop I/Os for aggregation
continuity and the I/O elevator to generate arbitrarily deep recursion.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t
objects such that IOs will be redispatched upon reaching a given recursion
depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

This occurred when ztest was simulating a scrub under heavy I/O load. Under
those circumstances, it was possible for a mix of noop I/Os for aggregation
continuity and the I/O elevator to generate arbitrarily deep recursion.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t
objects such that IOs will be redispatched upon reaching a given recursion
depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

This occurred when ztest was simulating a scrub under heavy I/O load. Under
those circumstances, it was possible for a mix of noop I/Os for aggregation
continuity and the I/O elevator to generate arbitrarily deep recursion.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t
objects such that IOs will be redispatched upon reaching a given recursion
depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

This occurred when ztest was simulating a scrub under heavy I/O load. Under
those circumstances, it was possible for a mix of noop I/Os for aggregation
continuity and the I/O elevator to generate arbitrarily deep recursion.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t
objects such that IOs will be redispatched upon reaching a given recursion
depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

This occurred when ztest was simulating a scrub under heavy I/O load. Under
those circumstances, it was possible for a mix of noop I/Os for aggregation
continuity and the I/O elevator to generate arbitrarily deep recursion.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t
objects such that IOs will be redispatched upon reaching a given recursion
depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

This occurred when ztest was simulating a scrub under heavy I/O load. Under
those circumstances, it was possible for a mix of noop I/Os for aggregation
continuity and the I/O elevator to generate arbitrarily deep recursion.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t
objects such that IOs will be redispatched upon reaching a given recursion
depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

This occurred when ztest was simulating a scrub under heavy I/O load. Under
those circumstances, it was possible for a mix of noop I/Os for aggregation
continuity and the I/O elevator to generate arbitrarily deep recursion.

This patch modifies ZFS to propapage a recursion counter inside the zio_t
objects such that IOs will be redispatched upon reaching a given recursion
depth.  We can detect long call chains and dispatch to another ZIO taskq. We
cut in-line when we do this to minimize the potential for taskq exhaustion that
can prevent a zio from notifying its parent.

The spl_kmem_cache_kmem_threads module option was accidentally
omitted from the documentation.  Add it.
