Data,single: Size:256.00MiB, Used:0.00B /dev/vdh 256.00MiB Metadata,single: Size:8.00MiB, Used:0.00B /dev/vdg 8.00MiB Metadata,RAID1: Size:122.88MiB, Used:112.00KiB /dev/vdg 122.88MiB /dev/vdh 122.88MiB System,single: Size:4.00MiB, Used:0.00B /dev/vdg 4.00MiB System,RAID1: Size:8.00MiB, Used:16.00KiB /dev/vdg 8.00MiB /dev/vdh 8.00MiB Unallocated: /dev/vdg 1.06GiB /dev/vdh 841.92MiB Reason: btrfs balance delete last data chunk in case of no data in the filesystem, then we can see "no data chunk" by "fi usage" command. And when we do write operation to fs, the only available data profile is 0x0, result is all new chunks are allocated single type. Fix: Allocate a data chunk explicitly to ensure we don't lose the raid profile for data. Test: Test by above script, and confirmed the logic by debug output. Changelog v1->v2: 1: Update patch description of "Fix" field 2: Use BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_DATA for btrfs_force_chunk_alloc instead of 1 3: Only reserve chunk when doing balance on data chunk.
