Impressive that it's been running in production this long and with old kernel. I like it! Anyway, you could try mounting with -o recovery and see if that works. That's about the only thing I'd trust with such an old kernel and btrfs-progs. I don't even think it's worth trying the btrfsck on v0.20 just to see what the problems might be, and certainly not for actually using the repair mode. Actually I'm not even sure progs that old even does repairs, it might be the era of notify only. If -o recovery doesn't work, you'll need to use something newer, you could use one of: Fedora Rawhide nightly with 4.8rc6 kernel and btrfs-progs 4.7.2. This is a small netinstall image. dd to a USB stick, choose Troubleshooting option, then the Rescue option, then after startup use the 3 option to get to a shell where you can try to mount normally, or use btrfs-check. Limited tty, no sshd. https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20160914.n.0/compose/Everything/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20160914.n.0.iso.n.0.iso Or something more official with published hash's for the image and a GUI, Fedora 24 workstation has kernel 4.5.5 and btrfs-progs 4.5.2 https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/ -- 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
