Hi list, I am using kernel 3.9.0, btrfs-progs 0.20-rc1-253-g7854c8b.
I have a three disk array of level single: # btrfs fi sh Label: none uuid: 2e905f8f-e525-4114-afa6-cce48f77b629 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 3.80TB devid 1 size 2.73TB used 2.25TB path /dev/sdd devid 2 size 2.73TB used 1.55TB path /dev/sdc devid 3 size 2.73TB used 0.00 path /dev/sdb Btrfs v0.20-rc1-253-g7854c8b # btrfs fi df /mnt/data Data: total=3.79TB, used=3.79TB System: total=4.00MB, used=420.00KB Metadata: total=6.01GB, used=4.87GB When running # btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid5 -mconvert=raid5 /mnt/data I get ERROR: error during balancing '/mnt/data' - Invalid argument There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail dmesg | tail says: btrfs: unable to start balance with target data profile 128 Isn't it possible to convert raid level to raid5?
