Re: btrfs and raid1 (restore)

[Felix Blanke <felixblanke@gmail.com>]

The Questions are in my e-mail?!

=46irst of all the answers to your questions:

- All data still accessible
-
cooter ~ # btrfsck /dev/disk/by-label/home1
found 242881646593 bytes used err is 0
total csum bytes: 236710380
total tree bytes: 525582336
total fs tree bytes: 219082752
btree space waste bytes: 99723364
file data blocks allocated: 284825751552
 referenced 242200633344
Btrfs v0.19-16-g075587c-dirty

- ofc i did a balance before the mkfs, the raid was running for some we=
eks now.


My questions again in a short version:

- Is there a way to see if the 2 devices are still running in raid1 mod=
e? The 'btrfs
  filesystem show' doesn't fit to the old one (like described before) s=
o it seems
  that they are now running in a non raid1 mode.
- Is there a way to get those 2 devices running in raid1 mode again wit=
hout creating
  a new filesystem, adding the second device, copying data back etc.?
