But for some reason the balance decided to make metadata a RAID-1 and even when there was enough space I couldn't remove it (you must have 2 devices for RAID-1). So I added a third device, that allowed me to delete the second device which made the meta-data no longer RAID-1 and I could then delete the third device and have the single-device BTRFS filesystem I wanted. That was a while ago, maybe running kernel 3.10 or 3.8. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- 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
