That's not quite what I told you. Smilie

I think this is a software RAID. You'll have to use the md* devices.

# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [raid0]
md11 : active raid1 sdb2[0]
68091392 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md10 : active raid1 sdb3[0]
68091392 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md8 : active raid1 sdb5[0]
68091392 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md6 : active raid1 sdb6[0]

... for all.
unused devices: <none>
There you go. The software RAID is active, and that is why you can't use the raw /dev/sdb* devices. The MD driver has taken them over and provided md* devices in their place. sdb6 is available as md6, sdb5 is available as md8, etc, etc. Either it was setup this way from the start, or the system autodetected the RAID partitions and turned them into md devices for you.

You still can't use it all as one giant thing -- it never was one giant thing. But you should be able to mount these md1,md2,... devices individually.

Half the RAID seems to be missing, but since this was a mirror, it fortunately still works.

Since you didn't post the entire, unaltered output of mdstat I can't tell you where to mount which in what order.

MKFS.BTRFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     MKFS.BTRFS(8)

NAME
mkfs.btrfs - create an btrfs filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.btrfs [ -A alloc-start ] [ -b byte-count ] [ -d data-profile ] [ -l leafsize ] [ -L label ] [ -m metadata profile ] [ -n nodesize ] [ -s sectorsize ] [ -h ] [ -V ] device [ device ... ] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.btrfs is used to create an btrfs filesystem (usually in a disk partition, or an array of disk partitions). device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/sdXX ). If multiple devices are specified, btrfs is created spanning across the specified devices. OPTIONS
-A, --alloc-start offset Specify the offset from the start of the device to start the btrfs filesystem. The default value is zero, or the start of the device. -b, --byte-count size Specify the size of the resultant filesystem. If this option is not used, mkfs.btrfs uses all the available storage for the filesys- tem. -d, --data type Specify how the data must be spanned across the devices specified. Valid values are raid0, raid1, raid10 or single. -l, --leafsize size Specify the leaf size, the least data item in which btrfs stores data. The default value is the page size. -L, --label name Specify a label for the filesystem. -m, --metadata profile Specify how metadata must be spanned across the devices specified. Valid values are raid0, raid1, raid10 or single. -n, --nodesize size Specify the nodesize. By default the value is set to the pagesize. -s, --sectorsize size Specify the sectorsize, the minimum block allocation. -V, --version Print the mkfs.btrfs version and exit. AVAILABILITY
mkfs.btrfs is part of btrfs-progs. Btrfs is currently under heavy development, and not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and review. Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for further details. SEE ALSO
