Uhh, just do btrfs-find-root by itself to get everything it can find. And then work backwards from the most recent generation using btrfs restore -t using each root bytenr from btrfs-find-root. The more recent the generation, the better your luck that it hasn't been overwritten yet; but too recent and your data may not exist in that root. It really depends how fast you umounted the volume after deleting everything. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
