Re: kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:5519 when hot-removing device in RAID-1

There are a number of things missing from multiple device support,
including any concept of a device becoming faulty (i.e. persistent
failures rather than transient which Btrfs seems to handle OK for the
most part), and then also getting it to go degraded automatically, and
finally hot spare support. There are patches that could use testing.

I think when testing, it's simpler to not use any additional device
mapper layers. Yes those should work, but it has to work with Btrfs on
the raw partition or device first. Then add additional layers one at a
time as the use case requires, testing in between the additions.
Otherwise it makes it harder to isolate.
