hello, i have some difficulty in understanding multi-device handling in depth. as http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices tells, btrfs can span over multiple devices at the same time. (great feature, btw !) ok then: mkfs.btrfs -m single -d single /dev/sdb /dev/sdc - creates a btrfs spanning over /dev/sdb and sdc mount /dev/sdb /btrfs - mounts it btrfs-vol -b /btrfs - does a rebalancing of all data and metadata btrfs-vol -r /dev/sdc - removes one of the volumes and redistributes any extends in use on sdc to sdb (killer feature!!!) but what if i want to remove /dev/sdb ? (as that one is in use for the mount) regards roland __________________________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie SMS direkt vom Postfach aus - in alle deutschen und viele ausländische Netze zum gleichen Preis! https://produkte.web.de/webde_sms/sms
