Version of Linux and btrfs-progs?

You can't have a raid10 with less than 4 devices so you need to add a
new device before deleting the missing. That is of course still a
problem with a read-only fs.

btrfs replace is also the recommended way to replace a failed device
nowadays. The wiki is outdated.
