   The lines without the RAID marker are there as a result of the way
that mkfs works -- it creates stub chunks which are never used, and
then upgrades to the required RAID level immediately afterwards.

   The balance (any balance, not just a conversion) processes these
chunks as well as all the other chunks in the FS, and rewrites all of
the data in them (all 0 bytes of it) somewhere else, removing the
originals.
