btrfs question



The man page for mkfs.btrfs says:

       -m, --metadata profile
              Specify  how  metadata must be spanned across the devices speci-
              fied. Valid values are raid0, raid1, raid10 or single.

I'm not quite sure how literally to read this. I have a software RAID5
array /dev/md127p1 that I'm trying to decide whether or not to reformat
from ext4 to btrfs. Since the RAID5 array already exists, would I just
include "-m single" in the command line?
