Improve btrfs man page

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am going through the process of replacing a bad drive in a RAID 1
mirror.  The filesystem wouldn't mount because of the missing device,
and the btrfs man pages were not helpful in resolving it.  Specifically,
it would have been very useful to me if this part of the wiki were
included somewhere:

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices#Replacing_failed_devices

There is no mention in the man pages of the -o degraded mount option,
which is needed to even manipulate the filesystem; nor is there any
mention of the special option "missing" for device delete.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would turn to man btrfs first when
facing a failed drive.

Thanks,
Per
