No apparent effect for "btrfs device delete missing"

Trying:

btrfs device delete missing /

appears not to do anything for a "/" mount for where I have swapped out
a HDD:

Btrfs v0.20-rc1-358-g194aa4a


All on the latest "Linux 3.11.5-gentoo".

# df -h | egrep '/$'
rootfs          112G   22G   89G  20% /
/dev/sdd4       112G   22G   89G  20% /



Aside: Adding the /dev/sde4 device caused no balance action until I
deleted a device to reduce the raid1 mirror (data and metadata) down to
the two devices.

The "missing" device was an old HDD that had physically failed. No data
was lost for that example failure.


Hope of interest,
Martin

Just a note_ btrfs fi show reads from the disks which could read the cache, you may try drop the cache or, use btrfs-progs from David latest integration to see kernel perspective.
