I managed to use these patches to convert the raid1 system and metadata chunks back to single and drop the second disk from a two disk array. In doing so I noticed that the restriper required a force switch to downgrade raid1 to single. This seems completely unnecessary to me. A force switch to btrfs device delete might make sense since delete may or may not force a downgrade, but with restripe, the request to convert from raid1 to single is already quite explicit with no room for ambiguity, so there should be no need for an additional confirmation switch. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7Ee+oACgkQJ4UciIs+XuIGIQCdFx9cP7cPQPslE9IcFNDg/6Ns LQYAn2l2ykGwiJt/yZNvuqePyMj3sxYH =P+HR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
