    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.
