When run chunk-recover on a health btrfs(data profile raid0, with plenty of data), the program has a chance to abort on the number of mirrors of an extent. According to the kernel code, the max mirror number of an extent is 3 not 2: ctree.h: BTRFS_MAX_MIRRORS 3 chunk-recover.c : BTRFS_NUM_MIRRORS 2 just change BTRFS_NUM_MIRRORS to 3, and everything goes well.Wouldn't it make a lot more sense, then, to change the userspace macro to be called BTRFS_MAX_MIRRORS as well? -EricYes, Eric, unify the names between userspace and kernelspace is really a good point. Also, I plan to move the macro into ctree.h, what do you think?It's only used in chunk-recover.c, so I don't see much point to moving it to a new file.
Sorry, I take that back. Actually - Yes, I think it does make sense, just so that userspace moves slightly closer to kernelspace. -Eric (who said long ago that he wanted to try to sync things up, but found himself daunted by the task, and failed)
