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.
|
|
-h
|
|
help.
|
|
-v
|
|
(deprecated) alias for global *-v* option
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. 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.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 439 at fs/btrfs/ctree.h:1559 btrfs_update_device+0x1c5/0x1d0 [btrfs]
|
|
|
|
clear-uuid-tree <device>
|
|
Clear UUID tree, so that kernel can re-generate it at next read-write
|
|
mount.
|
|
|
|
Since kernel v4.16 there are more sanity check performed, and sometimes
|
|
non-critical trees like UUID tree can cause problems and reject the mount.
|
|
In such case, clearing UUID tree may make the filesystem to be mountable again
|
|
without much risk as it's built from other trees.
|
|
|
|
super-recover [options] <device>
|
|
Recover bad superblocks from good copies.
|
|
|
|
``Options``
|
|
|
|
-y
|
|
assume an answer of *yes* to all questions.
|
|
-v
|
|
(deprecated) alias for global *-v* option
|
|
|
|
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 stack traces 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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
? replay_one_dir_item+0xb5/0xb5 [btrfs]
|
|
? walk_log_tree+0x9c/0x19d [btrfs]
|
|
? btrfs_read_fs_root_no_radix+0x169/0x1a1 [btrfs]
|
|
? btrfs_recover_log_trees+0x195/0x29c [btrfs]
|
|
? replay_one_dir_item+0xb5/0xb5 [btrfs]
|
|
? btree_read_extent_buffer_pages+0x76/0xbc [btrfs]
|
|
? open_ctree+0xff6/0x132c [btrfs]
|
|
|
|
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.
|

|
