December 16, 20223 yr Hi. Sorry newbie here... get an error and do not know why or how to fix it. PLEASE advise.
December 16, 20223 yr Community Expert This pool has both raid0 and raid1 chunks, I assume you want raid0 since most are, if yes type in the console: btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid0,soft /mnt/cache_download_one
December 16, 20223 yr Community Expert 1 hour ago, KTFirst said: Actually would like RAID 1 (mirroring) Then just use the GUI balance option, since 99% of the chunks are raid0 not much point in using the soft flag.
December 17, 20223 yr Community Expert Solution Click on the pool, scroll down to the "balance status" section, choose "convert to raid1 mode" and click balance.
December 17, 20223 yr Author So I did that. Seemed to work (to be honest I do not know other than I have not got any errors). But, I did a "balance" on my plex cache and then got an error. REALLY sorry for being such a nube guys...
December 17, 20223 yr Community Expert Those are problems with the drive itself. Those numbers have increased since your earlier diagnostics. I would replace.
December 18, 20223 yr Community Expert Not a good sign but you can also run an extended SMART test to see if the device is still OK for now.
December 22, 20223 yr Author Hi. So tried that (extended SMART) and get read error. Will replace. THANK you all for all the help!
