jenga201 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I have 2x 1.6TB nvme cache drives that I wanted to use in Raid0 (I backup appdata externally). Using the command "-dconvert=raid0 -mconvert=raid1" to convert For over 24hrs now, the balance is stuck at 82% and syslog is spitting out many lines of "found 1 extents" every 5 seconds. I've seen other threads saying "found x extents" is just btrfs balancing, but I'm wondering why it's stuck at 82% and what I can do to fix this. beast-diagnostics-20191129-1545.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It's likely stuck, you can try again after rebooting but it will probably get stuck again, and if you haven't yet backed up any important data on the poo, before rebooting. Quote Link to comment

Are you thinking the cache drives are failing? I'm not sure how common it is or why this btrfs balance stalls. Edited November 29, 2019 by jenga201 Quote Link to comment

jenga201 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 It finished after reboot in a couple seconds. Yay! Thanks for your responses. Quote Link to comment
