OK, I have understood the message... I was planning that as you said
"semi-routinely", and I understand btrfs is not soon enough ready, and
I am very very far to be a specialist as you are.
So, I shall mount my RAID1 very standard, and I shall expect the
disaster, hoping it does not occur....
Now, I shall try to absorb all that...
Thank you very much !
I just keep around a USB drive with a full Linux system on it, to act as
"recovery". If the btrfs raid fails I boot into that and I can do
maintenance with a full graphical interface and internet access so I can
google things.
Of course on a home server you can't do that without some automation
that will switch boot device after some amount of boot failures of the
main OS.
While if your server has BMC (lights-out management) you can switch boot
device through that.

Thank you Alberto, yes,I have some other computers to react in case of
failure.
