Windows freezes a lot of small files

[dima333750]

Hi, I don't know how to properly post the error that I found. I already tested winbtrfs in 2020 and decided to test its latest version this year, and it still has a serious problem when working with a large number of small files.

Namely, when running for a long time, the file system freezes and the windows system freezes completely. Unfortunately, when it freezes, there is no BSOD and there is no way to diagnose it.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the drivers as documented in the readme.
2. Restart the computer if prompted.
3. I set the following parameters in the registry, although without these parameters the result will be the same

"CompressType"=dword:00000003
"Compress"=dword:00000001
"ZstdLevel"=dword:00000001

5. The fastest way to cause a freeze is to install google chrome portable on disk winbtrfs and actively use it for 3-7 days. Most often, the freeze occurs when watching videos.

Isn't this the same as #660?
