If device replace entry was found on disk at mounting and its num_write_errors stats counter has non-NULL value, then replace operation will never be finished and -EIO error will be reported by btrfs_scrub_dev() because this counter is never reset. # mount -o degraded /media/a4fb5c0a-21c5-4fe7-8d0e-fdd87d5f71ee/ # btrfs replace status /media/a4fb5c0a-21c5-4fe7-8d0e-fdd87d5f71ee/ Started on 25.Mar 07:28:00, canceled on 25.Mar 07:28:01 at 0.0%, 40 write errs, 0 uncorr. read errs # btrfs replace start -B 4 /dev/sdg /media/a4fb5c0a-21c5-4fe7-8d0e-fdd87d5f71ee/ ERROR: ioctl(DEV_REPLACE_START) failed on "/media/a4fb5c0a-21c5-4fe7-8d0e-fdd87d5f71ee/": Input/output error, no error Reset num_write_errors and num_uncorrectable_read_errors counters in the dev_replace structure before start of replacing.
