Hi,
I'm trying to run btrfs-convert on a system that has three raid
partitions (boot/md1, swap/md2 and root/md3). When I boot a rescue
system from md1, and try to run "btrfs-convert /dev/md3", it complains
that /dev/md3 is already mounted, although it definitely is not. The
only partition mounted is /dev/md1 because of the rescue system. When I
replicate the setup in a local VM, booting the rescue system from
another disk (no /dev/md1 mounted) helps, btrfs-convert runs. However,
I cannot do this on the server.
Is there anything I can do about this?
Regards,
Jochen

Can you mount and cleanly umount /dev/md3 and try the convert again?
