thanks, Chris. i have given a timeout of 300 to all the drives. they are all USB, all connected to an apollo lake based htpc. then i started the command again... the dmesg output is here from a few minutes after i started the btrfs device remove command. https://paste.ee/p/H1R0i. no hopes, high or low, but i'm still getting the same errors. i'll let it run though the night tho, as it doesn't seem to hurt anything other then slowly lock the system up.
on a side note, all the USB drives are either powered or are connected to a powered hub.. thanks again!
