ZFS just introduced > 'zed' and it would be nice if BTRFS would do the same Actually, I think that for serious failures smartd will take care of it. I was reading the btrfs list archives and apparently btrfs doesn't make as much as a whisper when a drive fails. It just keeps on going. Now, the keeps on going part I'm fine with, but you'd think that operating in a degraded mode would trigger some kind of message. Granted, it isn't 100% done yet, either. In fact, if your replace the failed drive you have to manually force a re-balance or it will just continue to operate degraded. Rich
