-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a fs that started with the default policy of metadata=dup. I added a second device and rebalanced, and so the metadata chunks were converted to raid1. Now I can not remove the second device because raid1 requires at least two devices. If I understand this patch series correctly, I can use it to manually convert those raid1 chunks back to dup, and then remove the second device. It occurs to me though, that in the restripe process, the newly created dup chunks can be allocated from either disk still, and any that are allocated on the second disk will then need to be relocated in order to remove that disk. This seems inefficient, so I was wondering if there is a way to make sure that during the restripe, only the disk I intend to keep is allocated from to create the dup chunks, and thus avoid the need to relocate when I remove the second disk? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7Bq0wACgkQJ4UciIs+XuLoUACeMkb4Pd0zshDDKmVzibYtxmvX GewAnAwKcsCaCaAX2XK6oMWxK6FvZQFc =UxDl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
