Trying to install a RAID1 on a debian stretch, I made some mistake and

And :

root@server:~# btrfs fi show
Label: none  uuid: eed65d24-6501-4991-94bd-6c3baf2af1ed
        Total devices 2 FS bytes used 1.10GiB
        devid    1 size 1.82TiB used 4.02GiB path /dev/sda1
        devid    2 size 1.00KiB used 0.00B path /dev/sdb1

...

My purpose is a simple RAID1 main fs, with bootable flag on the 2 disks
in prder to start in degraded mode....
How to get out ofr that...?
The 2nd device is indeed strange.

Considering how old packages Debian tends to deliver, it should be some
old btrfs-progs.

You could just boot into the system and execute the following commands:

# btrfs device remove 2 <mnt>

Then add a new real device to the fs

# btrfs device add <new device> <mnt>

Then convert the fs to RAID1

# btrfs balance start -dconvert=RAID1 -mconvert=RAID1 <mnt>
