  -----------
  'btrfs replace' is used to replace btrfs managed devices with other device.
I would add a quick line here saying that it's not currently supported for
RAID5/6, and to see btrfs-device for add/delete to get around the replace
missing problem.
I've added the quick note when committing the patch.
Thanks both.

Generally, would you agree to putting more links to the wiki in man pages
since man pages are not forever but sure take a long time to update on the
installed based and the wiki can be up to date for everyone right away?
(I'm not saying to remove info from the man pages, but more something like
"btrfs is changing quickly, more up to date information can be found on the
wiki page for
raid56: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID56
or
btrfsck: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfsck
btrfs restore: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Restore

Thanks,
Marc
That's pretty nice and helpful.
But one of my concern is that wiki changes are not shown as patches in mail list and somewhat
independent from btrfs-progs,
so if some developers changed the behavior of RAID56/btrfsck/restore, he or she may only modify the man page
but not wiki page.

Any good idea to synchronise wiki pages and man pages?

Thanks,
Qu
