Hi, I finished repartition of devices /dev/sda + /dev/sdb now. On both devices the first partition is equal in size: $ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda Festplatte /dev/sda: 238,47 GiB, 256060514304 Bytes, 500118192 Sektoren Festplattenmodell: SanDisk SD8SBAT2 Einheiten: Sektoren von 1 * 512 = 512 Bytes Sektorgröße (logisch/physikalisch): 512 Bytes / 512 Bytes E/A-Größe (minimal/optimal): 512 Bytes / 512 Bytes Festplattenbezeichnungstyp: dos Festplattenbezeichner: 0x0914a19b

My understanding is that size of btrfs superblock must be equal on both devices.
