We have at least two user reports about bad inode generation makes
kernel reject the fs.
May I add my report? I just upgraded Ubuntu from 19.04 -> 19.10 so
kernel went from 5.0 -> 5.3 (but I was using 4.15 too).
Booting 5.3 leaves me in initramfs as I have /boot on @boot and / on /@
In initramfs I can try to mount but get something like
btrfs critical corrupt leaf invalid inode generation open_ctree failed
Booting old kernel works just as before, no errors.
According to the creation time, the inode is created by some 2014
kernel.
How do I get the creation time?
# btrfs ins dump-tree -b <the bytenr reported by kernel> <your device>
I just went back to the office to reboot to 5.3 and check the creation
times and found they were 2013 - 2014.
And the generation member of INODE_ITEM is not updated (unlike the
transid member) so the error persists until latest tree-checker
detects.
Even the situation can be fixed by reverting back to older kernel and
copying the offending dir/file to another inode and delete the
offending
one, it still should be done by btrfs-progs.
How to find the offending dir/file from the command line manually?
# find <mount point> -inum <inode number>
This works, thanks.
But appears unpractical. After fix 2 files and reboot, I found 4 more,
then 16, then I gave up.
Another solution is use "find" to locate the files with creation time
before 2015, and copy them to a new file, then replace the old file with
the new file.
Hmm. But how do I "find" by creation time (otime)? Do you have a
suggestion for this?
It would be much safer than btrfs check --repair.

This patchset adds such check and repair ability to btrfs-check, with a
simple test image.

I checked out and built v5.3-rc1 of btrfs-progs. Then ran it on my
mounted rootfs with linux 5.0 and captured the log (~1800 lines 209
errors).
It's really not recommended to run btrfs check, especially repair on the
mounted fs, unless it's RO.
A new transaction from kernel can easily screw up the repaired fs.
I'm not sure if using the v5.0 kernel and/or checking mounted distorts
the results? Else I'm going to need a live usb with a v5.3 kernel and
v5.3 btrfs-progs.
If you like I can share the log. Let me know.
This issue can potentially cause a lot of grief. Our company server runs
Ubuntu LTS (18.04.02) with a 4.15 kernel on a btrfs boot/rootfs with
~100 snapshots. I guess the problematic inodes need to be fixed on each
snapshot prior to upgrading to 20.04 LTS (which might be on kernel ~5.6)?
Yes.
Do I understand correctly that this FTB is caused by more strict
checking of the fs by the kernel, while the tools to fix the detected
corruptions are not yet released?
Yes.
Thanks,
Qu
