BTRFS partition won't mount

BTRFS partition won't mount

[Adam Newby]

Hello all,

I recently had a power failure and can no longer mount my /home directory. The harddrive has two BTRFS partitions: sda7(/) and sda8(/home). The / partition loads up just fine, but /home does not. I've tried btrfsck as shown below and I've included dmesg pertaining to btrfs. This is on ArchLinux and the software versions are as follows:
btrfs-progs-unstable 0.19.20101006-1
linux 3.0

I actually have quite a bit of data on this partition that I would rather not lose. Please help!

Thanks,
Adam

   Try the instructions on the wiki at [1]. (And please feed back
and/or fix any issues you have with the instructions -- they're still
quite new and probably have awkward corners).

   You *really* need to think about making good backups (otherwise
we'll have to set the cwillu on you).

Just a question here: how come corruption after power loss is *so* common by reading this list? I mean, are there some/hidden journal flushing issues that lead to this or what?

I tried to cycle my testing machines several times to test the fs consistency months ago and I never had any corruption issues so far, but it seems I just could be lucky.

nt_my_filesystem.2C_and_I_get_a_kernel_oops.21

this worked perfectly for me ... just saved my night from tedious
restoration :-)

im on kernel 3.0.1 -- hard poweroff led to that problem.  i haven't
had any issues for some time ... im not sure what the problem was
exactly, but sometimes systemd gets a little twacky and takes a year
to shutdown ... guess i got a little impatient :-)

anyways, thanks for the integration work!

   My understanding is that the btrfs-zero-log tool is something of a
blunt object, and shouldn't be applied automatically, so I think it's
unlikely to go into the kernel in its current form.

   From what Chris implied on IRC a few days ago, if we encounter
corrupt items in the log, we should drop only those items (and their
dependents?), not the entire log tree. I'd guess that as people work
on reducing the number of BUG_ONs in the code and passing the errors
back up the stack, this will become easier to do.

   Until then, we do have btrfs-zero-log. (And the new recovery tool
coming shortly, too).

   Hugo.

well i tried to shutdown again and had to force poweroff via `echo b >
/proc/sysrq-trigger` (but this time it was because dbus segfaulted and
i couldnt ask systemd to reboot ... `kill -INT 1` wasn't working
either, maybe all systemd related)

=2E.. the same thing happened again.  i'm wondering if btrfs is causing
the hang to begin with?  i will watch it after i fix it tonight by
making systemd more verbose and see what it has to say.  im wondering:

) what else i could try to determine if btrfs is contributing to the is=
sue
) any other more graceful options than `echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger` e=
xist

thanks,
