I recall reading that btrfs raid was broken. That it was recommended instead to create a normal raid, and in it create a normal btrfs filesystem.
Could you tell us where you read that? My backup to a btrfs raid system has been working without fail for the past two years.
Here and elsewhere, but I did not make a note to just post a link, sorry.

«Warning: The RAID 5 and RAID 6 modes of Btrfs are fatally flawed, and should not be used for "anything but testing with throw-away data." See the Btrfs page on RAID5 and RAID6 for status updates.»
But this thread is about btrfs raid1. Which works very reliably for me here. -- Bob
