Hello Hugo,
hello Chris,
thanks for your advice. Now I am here:
btrfs balance start -dprofiles=single -mprofiles=raid1 /mnt/__Complete_Disk/
Done, had to relocate 0 out of 3939 chunks
root@homeserver:/mnt/__Complete_Disk# btrfs fi show
Label: none uuid: a8af3832-48c7-4568-861f-e80380dd7e0b
Total devices 3 FS bytes used 3.78TiB
devid 1 size 2.73TiB used 2.72TiB path /dev/sde
devid 2 size 2.73TiB used 2.23TiB path /dev/sdc
devid 3 size 2.73TiB used 2.73TiB path /dev/sdd
btrfs-progs v4.1.1
So, that looks good.
But then:
root@homeserver:/mnt/__Complete_Disk# btrfs fi df /mnt/__Complete_Disk/
Data, RAID5: total=3.83TiB, used=3.78TiB
System, RAID5: total=32.00MiB, used=576.00KiB
Metadata, RAID5: total=6.46GiB, used=4.84GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B
Is the RAID5 expected here?
I did not yet run:
btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid5,soft -mconvert=raid5,soft
/mnt/new_storage/
Regards,
Hendrik

Hello,
I converted an array to raid5 by
btrfs device add /dev/sdd /mnt/new_storage
btrfs device add /dev/sdc /mnt/new_storage
btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid5 -mconvert=raid5 /mnt/new_storage/
The Balance went through. But now:
Label: none uuid: a8af3832-48c7-4568-861f-e80380dd7e0b
Total devices 3 FS bytes used 5.28TiB
devid 1 size 2.73TiB used 2.57TiB path /dev/sde
devid 2 size 2.73TiB used 2.73TiB path /dev/sdc
devid 3 size 2.73TiB used 2.73TiB path /dev/sdd
btrfs-progs v4.1.1
Already the 2.57TiB is a bit surprising:
root@homeserver:/mnt# btrfs fi df /mnt/new_storage/
Data, single: total=2.55TiB, used=2.55TiB
Data, RAID5: total=2.73TiB, used=2.72TiB
System, RAID5: total=32.00MiB, used=736.00KiB
Metadata, RAID1: total=6.00GiB, used=5.33GiB
Metadata, RAID5: total=3.00GiB, used=2.99GiB
Looking at the btrfs fi show output, you've probably run out of
space during the conversion, probably due to an uneven distribution of
the original "single" chunks.
I think I would suggest balancing the single chunks, and trying the
conversion (of the unconverted parts) again:
# btrfs balance start -dprofiles=single -mprofile=raid1 /mnt/new_storage/
# btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid5,soft -mconvert=raid5,soft
/mnt/new_storage/
Yep I bet that's it also. btrfs fi usage might be better at exposing this case.
