How do I get the new BTRFS device to use RAID-1 for data and metadata? Avi, from your talk I got the impression that this was already possible but the man page doesn't reveal how.
# mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/sdX
I'm using btrfs-tools version 0.19+20120328-3 and kernel 3.2.0-2-amd64 from Debian/Unstable. Do I need to get a newer version of the kernel or the tools?
Nope, that'll work. Though, I do recommend a 3.4 kernel for the latest btrfs set.
PS Great talk Avi, it was good that you had more than an hour. Could you give another talk in Dec or Feb?
Not sure I'll be in the country in December, but February may be possible. Will have to see closer to the time.
