OL6.5 x64: How do I delete btrfs file system and remove those devices?

user12251154Jul 17 2014 — edited Jul 17 2014

I created a btrfs file system (for an Oracle database) on two disks and now I'd like to delete the file system and remove (take out) devices.

I created the btrfs filesystem using the command.

mkfs.btrfs /dev/xvde /dev/xvdf

I already removed all sub volumes and snapshots, and now would like to remove the file system and those two devices.

[root@airfscdbsprd ~]# blkid -o list

device     fs_type label    mount point    UUID

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/dev/xvdb1 ext4             /boot          770112e8-9d82-4de3-938b-bf754950e0d7

[root@airfscdbsprd ~]#

Do I need to remove the btrfs filesystem or can I just shutdown the machine, take out the two disks and restart?

Or do I need to run other commands to clean up btrfs and the device references before taking out the disks?

Thanks for your help.
