I tried several things, including the degraded mount option. One example: # mount /dev/sdb /data -o ro,degraded,nodatasum,notreelog mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. # cat /proc/kmsg <6>[ 262.616929] BTRFS info (device sdd): allowing degraded mounts <6>[ 262.616943] BTRFS info (device sdd): setting nodatasum <6>[ 262.616949] BTRFS info (device sdd): disk space caching is enabled <6>[ 262.616953] BTRFS: has skinny extents <6>[ 262.652671] BTRFS: bdev (null) errs: wr 858, rd 8057, flush 280, corrupt 0, gen 0 <3>[ 262.697162] BTRFS (device sdd): parent transid verify failed on 38719488 wanted 101765 found 101223 <3>[ 262.697633] BTRFS (device sdd): parent transid verify failed on 38719488 wanted 101765 found 101223 <3>[ 262.697660] BTRFS: Failed to read block groups: -5 <3>[ 262.709885] BTRFS: open_ctree failed <6>[ 267.197365] BTRFS info (device sdd): allowing degraded mounts <6>[ 267.197385] BTRFS info (device sdd): setting nodatasum <6>[ 267.197397] BTRFS info (device sdd): disabling tree log <6>[ 267.197406] BTRFS info (device sdd): disk space caching is enabled <6>[ 267.197412] BTRFS: has skinny extents <6>[ 267.232809] BTRFS: bdev (null) errs: wr 858, rd 8057, flush 280, corrupt 0, gen 0 <3>[ 267.246167] BTRFS (device sdd): parent transid verify failed on 38719488 wanted 101765 found 101223 <3>[ 267.246706] BTRFS (device sdd): parent transid verify failed on 38719488 wanted 101765 found 101223 <3>[ 267.246727] BTRFS: Failed to read block groups: -5 <3>[ 267.261392] BTRFS: open_ctree failed On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 6:09 PM, Janos Toth F. <toth.f.ja...@gmail.com> wrote: > I went through all the recovery options I could find (starting from > read-only to "extraordinarily dangerous").
