When the device disappear the path goes missing, and that will be the one of the reason that user will replace the device. The devid of the missing btrfs device can be obtained using the new cli option btrfs fi show --kernel And which can be used in the replace command. --- btrfs replace start /dev/sdc /dev/sde /btrfs Error: Unable to open device '/dev/sdc' Try using the devid instead of the path --- Signed-off-by: Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@fusionio.com>
