Hallo, Hugo,

Du meintest am 04.08.11:

Maybe I've found the place of the (unique?) problem.


Partitions:

        sdb1    2 GByte
        sdb2    3 GByte
        sdb3    4 Gbyte

   mkfs.btrfs -L Probe -m raid0 -d raid1 /dev/sdb1
   mount LABEL=Probe /mnt/Probe
     filling with about 600 MByte (1 *.iso)

   btrfs device add /dev/sdb2 /mnt/Probe
   btrfs filesystem balance /mnt/Probe
     (ok)
   btrfs device add /dev/sdb3 /mnt/Probe
     filling with a DVD *.iso (more than 4 GByte)
   btrfs filesystem balance /mnt/Probe
     (ok)

And then:

   btrfs device delete /dev/sdb2 /mnt/Probe

works fine, if /dev/btrfs-control exists

crashes (shown with "dmesg") if this device doesn't exist.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
