=====================

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
btrfs-select-super - overwrite primary superblock with a backup copy
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*btrfs-select-super* -s number <device>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Destructively overwrite all copies of the superblock
|
|
with a specified copy. This helps in certain cases, for example when write
|
|
barriers were disabled during a power failure and not all superblocks were
|
|
written, or if the primary superblock is damaged, eg. accidentally overwritten.
|
|
|
|
The filesystem specified by 'device' must not be mounted.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: *Prior to overwriting the primary superblock, please make sure that the backup
|
|
copies are valid!*
|
|
|
|
To dump a superblock use the *btrfs inspect-internal
|
|
dump-super* command, or the obsolete command *btrfs-show-super*.
|
|
|
|
Then run the check (in the non-repair mode) using the command *btrfs check -s*
|
|
where '-s' specifies the superblock copy to use.
|
|
|
|
Superblock copies exist in the following offsets on the device:
|
|
|
|
- primary: '64KiB' (65536)
|
|
- 1st copy: '64MiB' (67108864)
|
|
- 2nd copy: '256GiB' (274877906944)
|
|
|
|
A superblock size is '4KiB' (4096).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-s|--super <superblock>::
|
|
use 'superblock'th superblock copy, valid values are 0 1 or 2 if the
|
|
respective superblock offset is within the device size
