De acordo com o wiki btrfs :
NOTE This does not do the 'usual thing' for 3 or more drives. Until "N-Way" (traditional) RAID-1 is implemented: Loss of more than one drive might crash the array. For now, RAID-1 means 'one copy of what's important exists on two of the drives in the array no matter how many drives there may be in it'.
Se isso é para ser acreditado, em seguida, perder 4 unidades definitivamente irá falhar o array.
