Hi,
i have a BTRFS partition on a harddisk which is filling up.
I read in the man-pages from btrfs that i can add another harddisk/partition.
Can i do s.th. like "btrfs device add /dev/vda[x] /path_to_BTRFS_filesystem" ?
Is there something to take care off ?
Bernd

That's pretty much it to get the extra space in. Afterwards, you
should also do:
btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1,soft /path/to/btrfs/filesystem
which will convert your metadata to RAID-1 and ensure that there's one
copy on each of the two devices (for robustness).
