Make the source a seed device, add new device, delete seed. Once that completes, unmount, unset btrfs seed, and now the two devices are separate fs volumes each with unique UUID. There may still be bugs with seed device, it's been maybe 6 months since I last checked. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
