Convert Proxmox VE over Btrfs to RAID-1 configuration

proxmox_btrfs_raid1.sh

# Please follow https://gist.github.com/MakiseKurisu/3a44918bccf3383c0b5ccf362f429c8b first to set up rootfs
# Assuming rootfs on /dev/sdb2, and adding /dev/sda to the RAID-1 configuration

# Remove existing Proxmox installation and LVM Thin storage
pvesm remove local-lvm
vgremove pve -y

# Set up partition table
(echo g; echo n; echo ''; echo ''; echo '+512M'; echo t; echo 1; echo n; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo w) | fdisk /dev/sda

# Add /dev/sda2 to current root
btrfs device add -f /dev/sda2 /

# Rebalance to RAID-1
# The first step could fail with message "ERROR: error during balancing '/': No space left on device".
# However, the profile will be changed regardless. Thus a proper rebalance is done after the first step.
# You can use "btrfs fi usage /" to check the rebalance result.
btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid1 -mconvert=raid1 /
btrfs balance start -dusage=100 /
btrfs balance start -musage=100 /

# When boot partition is MD RAID, grub will fail to run efibootmgr for adding boot entry.
# To allow normal booting, copy bootloader to the default location so BIOS can pick it up automatically.
