Hi,
I created a RAID10 array of 4x 4TB disks and later added another 4x 3TB disks,
expecting the result to be the same level of fault tolerance however with
simply more capacity. Recently I noticed the output of 'btrfs fi df' lists the
Data layout as 'single' and not RAID10 per my initial mkfs.btrfs -d raid10 -m
raid10 /dev/... command.
Is this single data layout due to the overall inconsistent disk size used ?
e.g. it can no longer fully stripe across all disks hence simply concatenates
the subsequent smaller disks and displays this as an overall 'single' Data
layout.
I require fault tolerance hence ultimately want to know if I actually do have a
RAID10 data layout, else should try perhaps a 'btrfs fi balance start
-dconvert=raid10 /export' (assuming enough free space exists).
I also noticed there are 2x System layouts shown, which leads me to think
perhaps the first disks (4x4TB) are laid out as RAID10 for Data however the
subsequent disks (4x3TB) are simply concatenated, giving me hopefully a limited
level of fault tolerance for now.
