Bug Description

No matter if I change the btrfs raid level to 0 or 1 Ubuntu 12.10 crashes. The screen is frozen and btrfs balance stopped. After turning off and on btrfs continues the balance job without any further crashes or errors.

What I have: btrfs with @, @home, @opt, @var all mounted respectively

What I do:

sudo btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid0 -mconvert=raid1 /
or
sudo btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid1 -mconvert=raid1 /

The crash happend once every time I changed the raid level on a root mounted btrfs. There is no /var/log/syslog or dmesg message about this.
