Re: Can't remove missing drive
Hi, I was trying to remove a 'missing' drive from a raid1 setup. It was suggested on this list that I update to HEAD. I updated my kernel to Ubuntu-lts-2.6.37-2.9, which appears to have the latest BTRFS code in it. I then tried to remove my missing drive again: r...@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem show failed to read /dev/sr0 Label: none uuid: f929c413-01c8-443f-b4f2-86f36702f519 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 594.71GB devid1 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdb1 devid2 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdc1 *** Some devices missing Btrfs v0.19-36-gcbc979b-dirty r...@willvo:~# btrfs device delete missing /data r...@willvo:~# tail -1 /var/log/syslog Nov 6 13:36:29 willvo kernel: [ 1227.711276] btrfs: no missing devices found to remove r...@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem show failed to read /dev/sr0 Label: none uuid: f929c413-01c8-443f-b4f2-86f36702f519 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 594.71GB devid1 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdb1 devid2 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdc1 *** Some devices missing Btrfs v0.19-36-gcbc979b-dirty This is already strange as 'btrfs device delete' cannot find the missing device that 'btrfs filesystem show' knows about.

Is there any way to 'convert back' to raid1? My reading suggests that feature isn't implemented yet - although I managed to magically convert from raid1 to raid0, so who knows.

Thanks to Chris and Brian for the help!

It seems to mount fine without -odegraded. Any ideas how I can list the missing devices? Any ideas on how I can remove the missing devices? What have you tried so far? Well, to remove the missing drive I've tried `btrfs-vol -r missing /data` and newer `btrfs` command. I've previously tried with the system mounted in degraded mode. The wiki, https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices, suggests that you should mount the new disk before removing the missing disk. I've also tried removing the old device with `btrfs device delete /dev/loop0 /data` - i.e. giving the missing device explicitly. Also, the 'missing' device, /dev/loop0, is there - just not connected to anything. I thought that might be the issue so I moved it out of the way and tried to remove 'missing' again. No change. To list the missing devices I tried `btrfs filesystem show` - that shows 'some devices missing' but doesn't list them. Interestingly, the new log below shows that `btrfs device delete missing` shows that `btrfs delete` doesn't think there are any devices missing. The general formula is: mount -o degraded /dev/xxx /mnt (where xxx is one drive still in the array) btrfs-vol -r missing /mnt I'd suggest pulling the master branch of the unstable tree first, it has a fix for the btrfs-vol -r missing code. Ok. Is this kernel or tools or both? I'll assume both. I probably wont be able to get to that for a few days.

What you see is the expected behavior, since 'btrfs filesystem show' is reading the partitions directly. Therefore, it won't see any changes that haven't been committed to disk yet. The 'some devices missing' message should go away after running 'sync', or rebooting, or un-mounting the file system. Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't seem to work. I've tried rebooting multiple times. The new log below might be more interesting - note that `btrfs device delete missing` claims that there is no missing device. r...@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem sync /data FSSync '/data' r...@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem show failed to read /dev/sr0 Label: none uuid: f929c413-01c8-443f-b4f2-86f36702f519 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 577.81GB devid1 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdb1 devid2 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdc1 *** Some devices missing Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 r...@willvo:~# btrfs device delete missing /data r...@willvo:~# tail -1 /var/log/syslog Nov 1 11:20:39 willvo kernel: [175031.411348] btrfs: no missing devices found to remove r...@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem show failed to read /dev/sr0 Label: none uuid: f929c413-01c8-443f-b4f2-86f36702f519 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 577.81GB devid1 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdb1 devid2 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdc1 *** Some devices missing Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 r...@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem sync /data FSSync '/data' r...@willvo:~# btrfs filesystem show failed to read /dev/sr0 Label: none uuid: f929c413-01c8-443f-b4f2-86f36702f519 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 577.81GB devid1 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdb1 devid2 size 931.51GB used 604.00GB path /dev/sdc1 *** Some devices missing Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 Cheers, Will :-} -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-btrfs in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
