Subject: Re: Balance of Raid1 pool, does not balance properly.

Just a short answer.

I didn't use the replace command.

I added the new drive to the pool / array, and checked that it was 
registered.
Following that I removed the 1TB drive with "btrfs device delete <drive>".

As far as I know this should avoid the need to resize the new drive.

"btrfs fi us" shows all the space as available. The drive shows 1.7TB as 
unallocated.

I have started moving some data of the array to give btrfs some more 
room to move, and will follow what happens when I try a new balance 
later on.
