I have added a new device and everything seems to be working fine, except I cannot remove the old, missing, device. There is no error - but the 'some devices missing' tag doesn't go away. > > root@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem show > failed to read /dev/sr0 > Label: none uuid: f929c413-01c8-443f-b4f2-86f36702f519 > Total devices 3 FS bytes used 578.39GB > devid 1 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdb1 > devid 2 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdc1 > *** Some devices missing > > Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 > root@willvo:~# btrfs device delete missing /data > root@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem show > failed to read /dev/sr0 > Label: none uuid: f929c413-01c8-443f-b4f2-86f36702f519 > Total devices 3 FS bytes used 578.39GB > devid 1 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdb1 > devid 2 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdc1 > *** Some devices missing > > Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 > > There are a number of sub-volumes of /data that are mounted in other locations. I'm using kernel 2.6.36 (the lucid backport of the natty kernel) and similar btrfs-tools (lucid backport of natty tools). Interestingly looking at the output of `dh -h`, it appears that the 'missing' devices are no longer being counted in the filesystem size - there is just a phantom 'missing' tag in btrfs-show. > > Is this actually a problem, or can I just keep running as is?

The general formula is: mount -o degraded /dev/xxx /mnt (where xxx is one drive still in the array) btrfs-vol -r missing /mnt I'd suggest pulling the master branch of the unstable tree first, it has a fix for the btrfs-vol -r missing code. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
