We got the following warnings from thin_check during thin-pool setup: $ thin_check /dev/vdb examining superblock examining devices tree missing devices: [1, 84] too few entries in btree_node: 41, expected at least 42 (block 138, max_entries = 126) examining mapping tree The phenomenon is the number of entries in one node of details_info tree is less than (max_entries / 3). And it can be easily reproduced by the following procedures: $ new a thin pool $ presume the max entries of details_info tree is 126 $ new 127 thin devices (e.g. 1~127) to make the root node being full and then split $ remove the first 43 (e.g. 1~43) thin devices to make the children reblance repeatedly $ stop the thin pool $ thin_check The root cause is that the B-tree removal procedure in __rebalance2() doesn't guarantee the invariance: the minimal number of entries in non-root node should be >= (max_entries / 3). Simply fix the problem by increasing the rebalance threshold to make sure the number of entries in each child will be greater than or equal to (max_entries / 3 + 1), so no matter which child is used for removal, the number will still be valid.
