Re: linux v3.1 with btrfs-work: oops when deleting files

Ok - may be I need this hint too sometimes in the next weeks.

Same problem here. I fear that I have to copy my btrfs cluster (more  
than 4 TByte on 3 disks) to another 3-disk cluster - last week that  
would have been 200 Euro, now it may be 300 Euro.

I don't dare the way

        add a 4th 2-TByte disk
        balance
        remove the bad disk

(that was the major reason for me using btrfs - adding bigger disks,  
removing smaller disks ...)

Viele Gruesse!
