should btrfs maybe add a hint to add the "--force" option when it refuses to do
"btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid0 /" (maybe "single" instead of "raid0" works too?) when i tried this command without --force, I just got "invalid argument" only the log file suggested to use "--force" similarly if would be helpful if "btrfs device delete" would print a hint to do the -mconvert=raid0 (or single) in order to get back to a setup with only one disk This would help to avoid hours of pointless googling... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880645 Title: "btrfs device delete /dev/sdaX /" fails with error "ERROR: error removing the device '/dev/sdaX'" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/btrfs-tools/+bug/880645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
