I won't hope that this error is related to RAID0, I haven't installed (as far as I know) RAID0. My installation way: (2-TByte-Disk) mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdf2 mount /dev/sdf2 /srv/MM (1.5-TByte-Disk) btrfs device add /dev/sdc3 /srv/MM btrfs filesystem balance /srv/MM (and then waiting about 1 day ...) Especially: no RAID definition. If the smallest device defines the capacity then I should use 2*1.35 TiByte, but my system tells "no space left" at about 2.4 TiByte - where are (at least) 300 GiByte hidden? --------------------------------------- Kernel 2.6.35.8 btrfs-git from 20101117 Viele Gruesse!
