Woudl it make sense to add a paragraph explaining that for raid5/6,
someone should either:
1) use balance to rebuild on a new drive if one of the drives is missing
2) use btrfs device add of a new drive, then btrfs device delete of the
drive to replace, and effectively btrfs will do the same thing that
replace would
?
Thanks,
Marc
