We have an btrfs filesystem which have crashed and fails to mount. The filesystem is on an extrenal SSD and it is quite possible it got disconnected badly or had an unclean shutdown due to suspend issues.

Not 100% sure which kernel was used to write to the disk when it failed, but it's fairly recent, Fedora 34 beta. The OS that was used is on the disk. Data is not critical, but there is some files we like to recover if possible. btrfs-image also fails with similar error [root@localhost henrik_n]# btrfs-image /dev/sdc3 fedora34-beta.btrfsimage parent transid verify failed on 2036170752 wanted 63722 found 77966 parent transid verify failed on 2036170752 wanted 63722 found 77966 Ignoring transid failure leaf parent key incorrect 2036170752 ERROR: failed to read block groups: Operation not permitted ERROR: open ctree failed ERROR: create failed: -5 No difference with the -w option. btrfs-restore do find some roots [root@localhost henrik_n]# btrfs restore -l /dev/sdc3 tree key (EXTENT_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) 2056372224 level 2 tree key (DEV_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) 1974648832 level 0 tree key (FS_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) 5275648 level 0 tree key (CSUM_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) 2044133376 level 2 tree key (UUID_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) 1096368128 level 0 tree key (256 ROOT_ITEM 0) 2043953152 level 2 tree key (257 ROOT_ITEM 0) 2012250112 level 2 tree key (262 ROOT_ITEM 0) 1637449728 level 0 tree key (DATA_RELOC_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) 5390336 level 0 btrfs-restore is quite upset as well, and only finds a handful files.
