FWIW, I'm up on the initramfs for the dual-device btrfs raid1 root, now. It seems to work reasonably, altho I still have some fine tuning to do on the initramfs (include gdisk/cgdisk, and I still want to see about rolling my own instead of using dracut) once I have my other partitions over on btrfs on the ssds. Of course that means figuring out how to check for degraded raid1 btrfs and how to "undegrade" it if necessary, is no longer simply theoretical, altho I intend to be keep the reiserfs "spinning rust" backups current for quite some time, given btrfs' development status. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
