Convert Proxmox VE over Btrfs to RAID-1 configuration

# 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

# 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.
