   It shouldn't happen, as I understand how the process works. Can you
show the output of "btrfs fi df /mnt/__Complete_Disk"? Let's just
check that everything is indeed RAID-5 still.

   After this, we're probably going to have to look at the device and
chunk trees to work out what's going on.

   Hugo.
