Unable to remove devices in multi-device setup

Unable to remove devices in multi-device setup

[Timothy Renner]

Apologies if this has been asked already...

I am testing btrfs across multiple devices to see if removing them is 
working smoothly yet(smallish loopback devices, a few 2GB and one 5GB) 
and I always seem to hit a point where I can no longer remove a device.  
I've created the filesystem as RAID 0, so there should be no duplication 
of metadata or data.  I'm running yesterday's git checkout of 
btrfs-progs and kernel 2.6.39.1, so am reasonably up to date.

         Total devices 3 FS bytes used 3.10GB
         devid    6 size 2.00GB used 2.00GB path /dev/loop0

         devid    7 size 5.08GB used 2.00GB path /dev/loop4

(= ~9 GB total space)

/dev/sda7            158374020 107979012  42350036  72% /d

Data, RAID0: total=4.03GB, used=3.10GB
System, RAID0: total=16.00MB, used=4.00KB
Metadata, RAID0: total=256.00MB, used=3.66MB

When I try to remove /dev/loop1, it chugs away for a while, 
re-allocating my data and then I get the error: "ERROR: error removing 
the device '/dev/loop1'"

My first question is why the data on this device can't be fully 
re-allocated, even though there is plenty of space on other of the other 
devices...  Is this a currently known bug in removing devices, or is 
there a good reason that brtfs can't let go of this device?  Is it 
holding onto a metadata block and can't re-allocate it elsewhere?  I've 
tried a rebalance to no effect... It moves some data back into 
/dev/loop1, but on a remove I run into the same problem.

My second question is:  Is there is a public bug database for btrfs?  A 
bugzilla or other such setup?
