Hello, today I wanted to remove one drive from raid1, and people at #btrfs advised me to use '-dconvert=single' before 'btrfs device delete'. I thought of adding '-mconvert=dup' too, but the kernel does not let me do that. It looks like 'dup' is disallowed for an array of multiple devices. So, to go back to a single-drive (single/dup) setup, should I go through having the metadata with 'single' profile? I can't use 'btrfs device delete' either, because that wouldn't respesct the raid1 profile. Maybe then the easiest I could do is to use the computer degraded, until I get some new disk in some days? That'd be equivalent to metadata=single, as I understand. And having a totally new disk, having removed the broken one, I'd have to: 1) mount degraded 2) btrfs device delete the missing disk (will I be allowed? due to raid1 profile) 3) btrfs device add another disk Should that work?
