Hallo, Hugo,

The days get shorter and shorter ...
running
btrfs device scan
produces something like
...
failed to read /dev/hdc
failed to read /dev/hdc8
failed to read /dev/lmscd
failed to read /dev/sdc1
failed to read /dev/sdb4
failed to open /dev/btrfs-control skipping device registration
failed to read /dev/sdd8
failed to read /dev/hdc9
failed to read /dev/sdf8
...
a lot of error messages for not existing devices and 1 error messages on
behalf of "btrfs-control".
My "/dev" directory has worked (without "udev") without any problem for
more than 10 years, it contains (has contained) a lot of entries for
nearly every case of disk. Therefore i had started with
btrfs device scan 2>/dev/null
and that deleted the "btrfs-control" error message too. And
btrfs device scan 2>&1 | grep -v 'failed to'
didn't help too.
btrfs-show
doesn't need "/dev/btrfs-control", it shows the existing btrfs
partition(s).
If I remember correct: mounting works, writing works, reading works. And
adding another partition works.
But there are strange messages when I try to resize or delete.
I'll try to reproduce these messages ...
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
