speaking of which...

Wouldn't the developers consider to rename raid1 to something more
correct? E.g. replicas2 or dup or whatever.

RAID1 has ever had the meaning of mirrored devices and the closest to
this in btrfs would be N replicas with N devices, and not two as it is
now.
Also I wouldn't know of any other system that doesn't use "RAID1" in
the traditional meaning (MD, basically every HW RAID I came across).

And I'm not against the mode of having 2 duplicates itself... just
against the naming, which I think easily confuses users and they may
awake with a bad surprise.


Cheers,
Chris.
