      Another take on btrfs pool backup. · fc06953e
      nimrod authored
      The thought is this: convert the pool to a mirror, add the destination
      to the pool, wait for everything to duplicate, remove the destination
      and convert back to a single device pool. The upside is that all of the
      subvolumes are copied without any special effort and that the state of
      them is synced entirely. The downside is that it doesn't work (I think
      it's the superblock), one of the devices ends up as broken. Further work
      is needed.
