[ 2918.502237] BTRFS info (device loop1): disk space caching is enabled [ 2918.503213] BTRFS: failed to read chunk tree on loop1 [ 2918.540082] BTRFS: open_ctree failed
I just had a test RAID-1 filesystem with a missing device. I mounted it with the degraded option and added a new device. I balanced it (to make it do RAID-1 again) and thought everything was good. Then when I tried to mount it again it gave errors such as the above (not sure why). Then I tried wiping /dev/loop1 and it refused to mount entirely due to having 2 missing devices. Obviously it was my mistake to not remove the missing device, and wiping /dev/loop1 was a bad idea. Failing to remove a missing device seems likely to be a common mistake. Could we make the balance operation automatically delete the missing device? I can't imagine a situation in which a balance would be desired but deleting the missing device wouldn't be desired. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- 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
