No, please; you are really raising the attention to an hot point of btrfs. Its capability of working when a disk is failed is not enough. For example it is impossible to remove a disk which disappeared (I have umount the filesystem, then mount it in degraded mode)... Btrfs is a filesystem in development, so it is OK that not everything is working. The "complaints" raise the attention level. -- gpg @keyserver.linux.it: Goffredo Baroncelli (kreijackATinwind.it> Key fingerprint BBF5 1610 0B64 DAC6 5F7D 17B2 0EDA 9B37 8B82 E0B5
