Either way, there is definitely not enough information here for us to 
give any practical advice. This is a btrfs-related mailing list and 
there's no indication even that you are using btrfs as your filesystem.


Typically, linux raid autodetect refers to mdraid, which is not btrfs 
- and changing the partition's type won't change the underlying issue 
of the data being unavailable.




I have a raid-10 array with two dirty drives and (according to the 
kernel) not enough mirrors to repair the raid-10. But I think drives 
sda and sdb are mirrored and maybe I could read the data off them if I 
changed the fs type from linux raid autodetect to ext3. is that 
reasonable?

If at least 3 disks are still in good condition, there's a chance that 
you can recover all your data. If not, my advice is to restore from 
backup. If you don't have backups ... well ... we have a couple of 
sayings about that, mostly along the lines of: If you don't have backups 
of it, it wasn't that important to begin with.


Run the following commands (as root) and send us the output - then maybe 
someone will be kind enough to point you in the right direction:

uname -a
cat /etc/*release
btrfs --version
btrfs fi show
cat /proc/mdstat
fdisk -l
gdisk -l

OT raid-1 from raid-10?
