Was it a SMR drive, by a chance? You can make those crawl with any filesystem. I even had one that couldn't finish initial Time Machine backup.

- helf 4y agoI just double checked the drive and it is. I forgot about that aspect of it. However I have run this same drive out of space using ext4, zfs, and xfs playing with it (it’s a drive I use for torrent etc) and none of them have crapped out like btrfs did on it.
