Maybe I've found the place of the (unique?) problem.
Partitions:
sdb1 2 GByte
sdb2 3 GByte
sdb3 4 Gbyte
mkfs.btrfs -L Probe -m raid0 -d raid1 /dev/sdb1
mount LABEL=Probe /mnt/Probe
filling with about 600 MByte (1 *.iso)
btrfs device add /dev/sdb2 /mnt/Probe
btrfs filesystem balance /mnt/Probe
(ok)
btrfs device add /dev/sdb3 /mnt/Probe
filling with a DVD *.iso (more than 4 GByte)
btrfs filesystem balance /mnt/Probe
(ok)
And then:
btrfs device delete /dev/sdb2 /mnt/Probe
works fine, if /dev/btrfs-control exists
crashes (shown with "dmesg") if this device doesn't exist.
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
