I have a Btrfs filesystem using 6 partitionless disks in RAID1 that's failing to mount. I've tried the common recommended safe check options, but I haven't gotten the disk to mount at all, even with -o ro,recovery. If necessary, I can try to use the recovery to another filesystem, but I have around 18 TB of data on the filesystem that won't mount, so I'd like to avoid that if there's some other way of recovering it.

Running "btrfs check /dev/sdb" exits with this: Opening filesystem to check... Incorrect offsets 13898 13882 ERROR: cannot open file system Also, "btrfs restore -Dv /dev/sdb /tmp" outputs some of the files on the filesystem but not all of them. I'm not sure if this is limited to the files on that physical disk, or if there's a bigger issue with the filesystem. I'm not sure what the best approach from here is, so any advice would be great.
