Please suspend any research on this topic.
I just received 250+ updates to Fedora 27 beta. I propose to do a clean installation and respond by Monday as to whether the problems persist.

Hey Leslie,
what extensions are you using? I just installed gnome-shell-3.26
from Arch Linux's testing repos and it's working fine for me using
btrfs. gnome-shell is hardly visible via 'top'.
Kind regards,
Olaf

Do not (as 5
October) use Gnome with btrfs. You can experience
gnome-shell looping with 99% cpu busy, schemas not being
adhered to, and problems because btrfs uses copy-on-write.
I have 5 copies of Gnome 3.26 with ext4, brtfs fully, btrrs
with xfs for /home and more. I can substantiate the btrfs
problem. Like any scientific experiment, you can duplicate
my findings.
Gnome is safe with a non "copy on write" file system.

Hi
Florian
I'm using a few
of your Gnome extensions. I thank you for
providing them to the community.
I do have a
question for you regarding the gnome-shell.
I have extensions
(several that include yours), where the
installation (doing the settings) onto a
btrfs file system crashes the shell, or
causes the shell to go into a 99.9% cpu loop.
If I install these extensions onto a non btrfs
system, eg, ext4, lvm, xfs , the
installation and extension setup works
flawlessly.
I use most of
your extensions, that come globally with
Fedora Linux (currently using the Fedora beta
1.5, the pending go-live beta). I am using it
fully with btrfs. I can crash the shell with
one or two extensions, only if the underlying
file system is btrfs
As the
gnome-shell gets maintenance updates, I am see
fewer and fewer crashes, but not with btrfs.
The crashes only occur during parameter setup.
It seems that the gnome-shell does not wrongly
read the compiled schema or ignores the
compiled schema. Have you stress tested
Gnome-shell under btrfs?
My preferred
third party extension that works perfectly
with ext4 and xfs is TaskBar by Zpydr. I am
walking through the source code and with my
level of JS knowledge, find no errors. Setting
TaskBar up onto a btrfs
system crashes the shell, but on
logging in after a crash, I see settings
outside of the schema settings. After a few
crashes, when the settings are what I wanted,
every extension works as anticipated. By the
way, I am not the author of this extension.
The author appears to have abandoned his
offering. What is his extension and one or
two others exercising that cause this grief.
I
am wondering if recompiling the schemas while
under btrfs would make a difference. I will
give it a try.
