Hey, I want you to know that it was impossible to recover the filesystem and that I have recreated the partition. Lost ~1.5 TiB unredundant data but it's just an annoyance, no catastrophe – I can recreate my collection and it wasn't any critical data.
For others with related problems: My latest attempt was to recover the superblock and metadata: $ btrfs rescue super-recover -v /dev/sdc1 All Devices: Device: id = 1, name = /dev/sdc1 Before Recovering: [All good supers]: device name = /dev/sdc1 superblock bytenr = 274877906944 [All bad supers]: device name = /dev/sdc1 superblock bytenr = 65536 device name = /dev/sdc1 superblock bytenr = 67108864 Make sure this is a btrfs disk otherwise the tool will destroy other fs, Are you sure?

Then I discovered the btrfs rescue chunk-recover tool: $ btrfs rescue chunk-recover -v /dev/sdc1 All Devices: Device: id = 1, name = /dev/sdc1 Scanning: xxx in dev0 This took about 14 hours for the 7.2 TiB HDD but ended up with an impressive long error output: https://twitter.com/cyberfrumble/status/743099729110781952 (forgot to copy it, it was longer than the terminal history). Then I gave up, created a new GPT and new btrfs partition. But thank you anyway for your recommendations! We can take away from this that we should check the device name each and every time before we do any dd stuff. ;) Am 14.06.2016 um 16:34 schrieb Maximilian Böhm: > Wow, I'm overwhelmed, thank you very much for your help! > > So, firstly I did a > dd if=/dev/zero of=nullz.raw bs=1 count=0 seek=2028060672 > and overwrote the ISO on the HDD. > > Then I was able to restore the GPT using gdisk with "use backup GPT > header (rebuilding main)".
