Hi Neil,
i did a short test and it works so far. Here are my results. Let me know if you need something more:
(TL;DR: Wonderful patch. Tested with PAR6 (= six parities) and was able to recover from losing five disks at once.)
The patches apply against 3.14.22 and btrfs-progs 3.12 but not against the recent 3.18-rc1 and btrfs-progs > 3.12.
root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs --version Btrfs v3.12-dirty root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# uname -a Linux ubuntu-1204-build 3.14.22 #3 SMP Tue Oct 21 13:00:08 CEST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
For the tests i used a VM with 4 GB memory, two cores and 15 disks with 150 GB each. Every disk looked like this:
root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# fdisk /dev/sdi
Command (m for help): p

Metadata and data still ‚single‘? Bug? Nevermind - lets convert it:
root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 /mnt Done, had to relocate 4 out of 6 chunks
root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# btrfs fi df /mnt Data, single: total=8.00MiB, used=0.00 Data, PAR6: total=9.00GiB, used=1.02GiB System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=16.00KiB Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=67.83MiB root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# btrfs balance start -dconvert=par6 /mnt Done, had to relocate 2 out of 4 chunks

OK now lets see what happens if we remove on device. Save a MD5SUM before:
root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# md5sum linux-3.14.22.tar 80af37cdfb2fa2239f79597c914a8c73 linux-3.14.22.tar
(Removed one disk and replace it with a brand new, empty one)

Lets replace the faulty disk:
root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs device add /dev/sdv1 /mnt root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs device delete missing /mnt
In /var/log/syslog:

After the ‚delete missing‘
Label: testpar6 uuid: 79d3c5e4-74ce-4464-a509-ef666dcd9073 Total devices 15 FS bytes used 31.42GiB devid 1 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdh1 . . . devid 14 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdu1 devid 16 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdv1
The md5 checksum is still correct:
root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# md5sum linux-3.14.22.tar 80af37cdfb2fa2239f79597c914a8c73 linux-3.14.22.tar
Hardcore test: PAR6 = 6 parities. Let´s see what happens if i remove five disks and replace with with empty ones.
Before i did that the metadata format was converted to PAR6 as well:
root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs fi df /mnt/ Data, PAR6: total=36.00GiB, used=31.32GiB System, PAR6: total=144.00MiB, used=16.00KiB Metadata, PAR6: total=1.12GiB, used=101.81MiB
root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# mount /dev/sdn1 /mnt/ -o degraded
root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs fi show Label: testpar6 uuid: 79d3c5e4-74ce-4464-a509-ef666dcd9073 Total devices 15 FS bytes used 31.42GiB devid 1 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path devid 2 size 146.48GiB used 5.00GiB path devid 3 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path devid 4 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path devid 5 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path devid 6 size 146.48GiB used 5.00GiB path /dev/sdm1 devid 7 size 146.48GiB used 4.03GiB path /dev/sdn1 devid 8 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdo1 devid 9 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdp1 devid 10 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdq1 devid 11 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdr1 devid 12 size 146.48GiB used 4.03GiB path /dev/sds1 devid 13 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdt1 devid 14 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdu1 devid 16 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdv1
Now let´s bring it back in shape and add five new, empty disks:
btrfs device add /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdj1 /dev/sdk1 /dev/sdl1 /mnt btrfs delete missing <<wait>> root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs fi show Label: testpar6 uuid: 79d3c5e4-74ce-4464-a509-ef666dcd9073 Total devices 15 FS bytes used 1.09GiB devid 6 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdm1 devid 7 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdn1 devid 8 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdo1 devid 9 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdp1 devid 10 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdq1 devid 11 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdr1 devid 12 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sds1 devid 13 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdt1 devid 14 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdu1 devid 16 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdv1 devid 17 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdh1 devid 18 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdi1 devid 19 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdj1 devid 20 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdk1 devid 21 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdl1
And now the checksum:
root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# md5sum linux-3.14.22.tar 80af37cdfb2fa2239f79597c914a8c73 linux-3.14.22.tar
Checksum matches!
So.. this looks *very* good to me.
