From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Erik Jensen Subject: Unable to remove failing drive from storage pool Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:19:42 -0700 Message-ID: References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 To: linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org Return-path: In-Reply-To: List-ID: I currently have a btrfs filesystem set up across three drives. Unfortunately, one is failing and is returning read errors.=A0 I tried to remove the drive from the pool using btrfs-vol -r, but the process seems to hang when a read error is encountered.=A0 At this point, disk activity stops and no further progress is made, with the drive remaining in the pool. I would like to be able to remove the drive from the pool, retaining as much data as possible.=A0 (It's just TV recordings, so a little corruption shouldn't be too much of a problem). I am using version 2.6.32 of the kernel. The relevant part of the dmesg output: http://fpaste.org/jnz8/ The part of the kernel state that seemed like they might be relevant: http://fpaste.org/0KKR/ btrfs-vol is towards the bottom.=A0 The entire state dump didn't fit in my dmesg buffer so there might be something missing.
