And it's the same message with the usual suspects: recovery, ro,recovery ? How about degraded even though it's not degraded? And what about 'btrfs rescue zero-log' ? Of course it's weird that btrfs check doesn't complain, but mount does. I don't understand that, so it's good you've got an image. If either recovery or zero-log fix the problem, my understanding is this suggests hardware did something Btrfs didn't expect. What about 'btrfs check --check-data-csum" which should act similar to a read-only scrub (different output though)? Hmm, nah. The thing is the failure to mount is failing on some aspect of metadata, not data. So the fact that check (on metadata) passes but mount fails is a bug somewhere... -- Chris Murphy -- 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
