Hi
My home partition is on a 2T HDD using btrfs

I am reading the material at
http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices
but still I am not that clear on some items.

If I want to to add a second 2T drive to work as a mirror (RAID1) it looks like I do not have to invoke mdadm or anything similar, it seems like btrfs will handle it all internally. Am I understanding this right?

Also, before I add a new device, do I have to partition the drive or does btrfs take over all these duties (partitioning, formating) when it adds the device to the filesystem?

What has been the experience like with such a system?

Thanks

JP
