NAME

|
|
btrfs-rescue - Recover a damaged btrfs filesystem
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*btrfs rescue* <subcommand> <args>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
*btrfs rescue* is used to try to recover a damaged btrfs filesystem.
|
|
|
|
SUBCOMMAND
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
*chunk-recover* [options] <device>::
|
|
Recover the chunk tree by scanning the devices
|
|
+
|
|
`Options`
|
|
+
|
|
-y::::
|
|
assume an answer of 'yes' to all questions.
|
|
-v::::
|
|
verbose mode.
|
|
-h::::
|
|
help.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Since *chunk-recover* will scan the whole device, it will be *VERY* slow
|
|
especially executed on a large device.
|
|
|
|
*fix-device-size* <device>::
|
|
fix device size and super block total bytes values that are do not match
|
|
+
|
|
Kernel 4.11 starts to check the device size more strictly and this might
|
|
mismatch the stored value of total bytes. See the exact error message below.
|
|
Newer kernel will refuse to mount the filesystem where the values do not match.
|
|
This error is not fatal and can be fixed. This command will fix the device
|
|
size values if possible.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
BTRFS error (device sdb): super_total_bytes 92017859088384 mismatch with fs_devices total_rw_bytes 92017859094528
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
The mismatch may also exhibit as a kernel warning:
|
|
+
|
|

|
|
----
|
|
|
|
*super-recover* [options] <device>::
|
|
Recover bad superblocks from good copies.
|
|
+
|
|
`Options`
|
|
+
|
|
-y::::
|
|
assume an answer of 'yes' to all questions.
|
|
-v::::
|
|
verbose mode.
|
|
|
|
*zero-log* <device>::
|
|
clear the filesystem log tree
|
|
+
|
|
This command will clear the filesystem log tree. This may fix a specific
|
|
set of problem when the filesystem mount fails due to the log replay. See below
|
|
for sample stacktraces that may show up in system log.
|
|
+
|
|
The common case where this happens was fixed a long time ago,
|
|
so it is unlikely that you will see this particular problem, but the command is
|
|
kept around.
|
|
+
|
|
NOTE: clearing the log may lead to loss of changes that were made since the
|
|
last transaction commit. This may be up to 30 seconds (default commit period)
|
|
or less if the commit was implied by other filesystem activity.
|
|
+
|
|
One can determine whether *zero-log* is needed according to the kernel
|
|
backtrace:

|
|
+
|
|
If the errors are like above, then *zero-log* should be used to clear
|
|
the log and the filesystem may be mounted normally again. The keywords to look
|
|
for are 'open_ctree' which says that it's during mount and function names
|
|
that contain 'replay', 'recover' or 'log_tree'.
|
|
|
|
EXIT STATUS
|
|
-----------
|
|
*btrfs rescue* returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is
|
|
returned in case of failure.
|
