I'll preface this with the fact that I'm just a user and am only posing a question for a possible enhancement to btrfs. I'm quite sure it isn't currently allowed but would it be possible to set a failing device as a seed instead of kicking it out of a multi-device filesystem? This would make the failing device RO, while keeping the filesystem as a whole RW thereby allowing the user additional protection when recovering/balancing. Is this a feasible/realistic request?
