Many things can happen after the device is scanned and before the device is mounted. One such thing is losing the BTRFS_MAGIC on the device. If it happens we still won't free that device from the memory and cause the userland confusion. For example: As the BTRFS_IOC_DEV_INFO still carries the device path which does not have the BTRFS_MAGIC, 'btrfs fi show' still lists device which does not belong to the filesystem anymore: $ mkfs.btrfs -fq -draid1 -mraid1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb $ wipefs -a /dev/sdb # /dev/sdb does not contain magic signature $ mount -o degraded /dev/sda /btrfs $ btrfs fi show -m Label: none uuid: 470ec6fb-646b-4464-b3cb-df1b26c527bd Total devices 2 FS bytes used 128.00KiB devid 1 size 3.00GiB used 571.19MiB path /dev/sda devid 2 size 3.00GiB used 571.19MiB path /dev/sdb We need to distinguish the missing signature and invalid superblock, so add a specific error code ENODATA for that. This also fixes failure of fstest btrfs/198.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
