$ sudo btrfs device remove missing /srv/tank ERROR: error removing device 'missing': no missing devices found to remove > But I'm not sure if this works when the volume is not already mounted > degraded. I have now done: # mount -oremount,degraded /srv/tank and tried again, but it produces the same response ("mount" now does show "degraded" as one of the mount flags, however). I have not yet tried completely unmounting it and mounting it again. > it really doesn't make sense to me you'd want to increase risk of > more Btrfs problems when such known things are now fixed.

It is inconvenient to reboot just now, so if I'm able to fix things without doing so (e.g. by balance or replace) then I would like to. If that won't be possible then I will of course boot into a newer kernel at the same time. If I end up booting into 4.1.15 then it should be possible to mount degraded and remove missing?
