Ok, I'll reproduce this tonight and get a patch out during the day tomorrow. Please don't do anything drastic with the drives, we can definitely pull the data out. -chris -- 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
kernel BUG when removing missing drive (Take 2)
