Hello
I glued together 6 disks in linear lvm fashion (no RAID) to obtain one large
file system (see below). One of the 6 disk failed. What is the best way to
recover from this?
Thanks to RAID1 of the metadata I can still access the data residing on the
remaining 5 disks after mounting ro,force. What I would like to do now is to
1) Find out the names of all the files with missing data
2) Make the file system fully functional (rw) again.
To achieve 2 I wanted to move the data of the disk. This, however, turns out to
be rather difficult.
- rsync does not provide a immediate time-out option in case of an IO error
- Even when I set the time-out for dd_rescue to a minimum, the transfer speed
is still way too low to move the data
(> 15TB) off the file system.
Both methods are too slow to move off the data within a reasonable time frame.
Does anybody have a suggestion how to best recover from this? (Our backup is
incomplete).
I am looking for either a tool to move off the data — something which gives up
immediately in case of IO error and log the affected files.
Alternatively I am looking for a btrfs command like “ btrfs device delete
missing “ for a non-RAID multi-disk btrfs filesystem.
Would some variant of "btrfs balance" do something helpful?
Any help is appreciated!

Matt

The tool you want is `btrfs restore`. You'll need somewhere to put the
files from this too of course. That said, given that you had data in
raid0 mode, you're not likely to get much other than very small files
back out of this, and given other factors, you're not likely to get what
you would consider reasonable performance out of this either.
Your best bet to get a working filesystem again would be to just
recreate it from scratch, there's not much else that can be done when
you've got a raid0 profile and have lost a disk.
