I managed to break my root partition today.  Playing with GPU
passthrough to a second graphics card, unsuccessfully, I suspect lead to
some lockups and/or unclean mounts.

I've Googled a bit and tried a number of things stopping just before
'btrfs check --repair'.  I'm running kernel 4.19.10.  I now have the
latest version of btrfs-progs, but I do admit to 'having a go' with
btrfs-progs 4.4.something from a Mint installation.

I've tried btrfs-find-root - and got the following:

btrfs-find-root /dev/sdc2
Superblock thinks the generation is 793794
Superblock thinks the level is 1
Found tree root at 1113905790976 gen 7937947 level 1

(transcribed by reading off PC and typing into laptop, any errors are mine)

Not sure what to do with the above info.  Should I just reformat and
re-install (inc backups) or is there something worth trying?

Pete
