I've experienced the following with balance: Setup: - Kernel 3.12.9 - 11 DVD sized (4.3GB) loopback devices. (9 Read-Only Seed devices + 2 Read/Write devices) - 9 device seed created with "-m single -d single" and made Read-only with "btrfstune -S 1 ..." - 2 devices was added at different dates. NO balance performed until now. - NOW add 1 more device to the array and perform a balance.
Result: Balance did run for a while and exited displaying "Process Killed". Any attempt to unmount the array failed, preventing any shutdown. Hence I had no option other than hard reset. After reboot, issuing balance command gave the message "Balance in progress". I cancelled the balance and tried to remove the last device which ended with a kernel crash. So I dumped 2 + 1 normal devices. Former 9 multi device seed was OK and was mountable.
