I managed to use these patches to convert the raid1 system and
metadata chunks back to single and drop the second disk from a two
disk array. In doing so I noticed that the restriper required a force
switch to downgrade raid1 to single. This seems completely
unnecessary to me. A force switch to btrfs device delete might make
sense since delete may or may not force a downgrade, but with
restripe, the request to convert from raid1 to single is already quite
explicit with no room for ambiguity, so there should be no need for an
additional confirmation switch.
