But if the user data is important we should do a btrfs restore first. That's a safe read-only operation, does not change the file system like fsck which always has risk. > Also is the fix for my particular problem being worked on by the devs > at the particular moment ? Yes. > Are we living that close to the edge ? It's actually an unusual failure, so it is an edge case. I'm happy to discuss this part later. Priority is to get your data backed up, and fix the file system. > > You could add -x -m to this if you want. > > > > Wait didn't you just say -x and -m will give errors.

The files are extracted and saved. And then the metadata/xattr is applied to the files. -D prevents the files from being restored. It's a dry run. Since there's no files, -m -x results in errors. > If you want I am available on US time but only if you let me know in advance.

Anyway, next email I'll write up a procedure. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
