Seems not to be the case, and in fact, could this be one of the "missing links" in the Fsck story, -w Walk all the trees manually and copy any blocks that are referenced. Use this option if your extent tree is corrupted to make sure that all of the metadata is captured. This certainly does sound like something to try for some of those broken filesystems where Btrfsck refuses to do anything. Save image with this manual walking/reconstruction of the trees, then restore. Too bad I already nuked mine, so can't experiment with that. -- With respect, Roman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
