Good evening,

I need your advice on how to continue with one of my BTRFS RAID1 setups.

The machine and the BTRFS RAID1 were built/created in 2014, as far as I can say. 
It was built using openSUSE Leap, I think 13.X or similar. The machine was then 
constantly upgraded and is now running openSUSE Leap 15.3 with a 5.3.18 kernel 
(detailed infos below).

As one of the HDDs started reporting SMART errors, I just dd'ed each of the 4TB 
disks onto new 8TB disks (and fixed the GPT backup). I did not resize the 
filesystem, so it is still 3.6 TiB like on the old HDDs.
To make sure that the filesystem was working, I issued a btrfsck against each of 
the devices.

The output of the check is below. The TL;DR was that I should run 'btrfs rescue 
fix-device-size' to fix a "minor" issue.

Unfortunately, running this command fails:

> root dumbo:/root # btrfs rescue fix-device-size /dev/sdc1
> Unable to find block group for 0
> Unable to find block group for 0
> Unable to find block group for 0

> btrfs(btrfs_fix_device_size+0x123)[0x55aeeadfe2a3]
> btrfs(btrfs_fix_device_and_super_size+0x6b)[0x55aeeadfe56b]

> btrfs(_start+0x2a)[0x55aeeade028a]
> Aborted (core dumped)
> root dumbo:/root #

So, my question is what I should do:

Do I need to run another command to fix this issue?
Can I safely ignore the issue?
Should I copy all of the data to another disk, and create a new BTRFS RAID1 from 
scratch? (Which of course I would like to avoid, if possible...)

Maybe someone can advise me on how to proceed. I am grateful for all of the 
input I get.

If there is other information I should give, please feel free to reach out to me.

Kind Regards
Johannes
