Hallo, Alexander,
Du meintest am 01.05.13:

I've tested both versions on a 3 disk bundle of 3 TByte disks (data
raid0, meta raid1).
mkfs.btrfs ... /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
made some more problems, especially when recognizing or deleting the
disk(s). Maybe that's a problem more related to "util-linux" (especially
"wipefs" and "blkid").
Partitioning first with gdisk and then
mkfs.btrfs ... /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
runs better (perhaps without problems).
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
