Re: BTRFS RAID-1 leaf size change scenario

I'm going to amend what I wrote earlier. The problem with the seed
device method, it won't let you change the leafsize. And that means
you'll need to go with a new volume with mkfs, and migrate data with
btrfs send receive instead.

And to clarify, you don't need to thin out subvolume to start out with
on the existing volume. Do the thinning as part of the send/receive
strategy. Keep the old raid1 mirror as a read only archive until
you're clear you don't need it as much as you need a new backup
volume. I wouldn't combine archive and backup in a single device.
