Using one ore more devices to build a volume. This volume has the '''capacity of all the used devices together(1+2+3+4...)'''. This is an very easy way to expand your volume when you need more space. You even can add 2 or 3 devices at a time. When you want to replace a device, you can add the new device, then remove the old device. Btrfs will move all data as necessary. ''To distribute all data to all devices you may want to '''balance''' the volume.'' Btrfs will stripe the data to all devices. | Using one ore more devices to build a volume.
