The example given in the OP was of a 4-device raid10, already the minimum number to work undegraded, with one device dropped out, to below the minimum required number to mount undegraded, so of /course/ it wouldn't mount without that option.
The issue was not realizing that a degraded fault-tolerant array would refuse to mount without being passed an -o degraded option. Yes, it's on the wiki - but it's on the wiki under *replacing* a device, not in the FAQ, not in the head of the "multiple devices" section, etc; and no coherent message is thrown either on the console or in the kernel log when you do attempt to mount a degraded array without the correct argument.
IMO that's a bug. =) -- 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
