Hi For example I have a bunch of various disks. I want to use them all as one big storage: mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d single /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc ... And someday one of my disks becomes dead. Disappears. However, I can still mount fs in degraded,ro mode. All files that lays on working disks are still available, but the only option to save those files is to make a new fs on a new disk and copy them to it. Why? Can I just drop files, whose chunks was on the dead disk?
How btrfs allocates files (file chunks) on physical disks? i.e. can I lose all my files in -d single mode, when one of my disk becomes dead? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
