hi all

i have a single /dev/sdc as a btrfs volume. recently the volume got corrupted 
and i cannot seem to find a way to restore its functionality by using any of 
internet howtos.
i tried standard ‘safe’ options and still did not run --repair option in fear of 
killing the data completely.
also if i check with btrfs tools v4 and v5 (from tumbleweed live usb) i get 
totally different results.
with v4 i ger simply:

and with v5 i get a log file of 32Mb with over 500k lines stating following:

i can attach a full log if needed, but generally it comes down to types of 
errors above.

can this disk still be repaired or should i just reformat it and be done with it?
i did chunk scan (took over 10h) which came up with nothing.
zero-logs and other options result in abort; i cannot do btrfs-image (it appears 
to be much much smaller then i would expect).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
image dumped is just a couple of gigs, and -d says that data dump is not supported.

some other output of ‘safe’ commands i ran based on internet feedback:

i also ran chunk-recover with no result.
any ideas would be welcome, it would be a pity to lose 3.3T of data because of a 
power outage… never had this kind of issues with ext4.

would be thankful for any insights on how to investigate more or fix partially 
as well.

thanks in advance!

Hi,

As far as I know, it is not possible to repair "parent transid failed" errors. It means you have a serious damage to your filesystem.

There is some background on why this can happen on the Btrfs wiki. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#How_do_I_recover_from_a_.22parent_transid_verify_failed.22_error.3F

It generally comes down to a situation where the storage system did not honour barriers and you lost writes after write reordering happened.

Btrfs updates the reference to data extents on its leaves first, the it updates the reference to the leaves, the root references and last the super blocks. 

The parent transid failed means that you have lost updated references in the middle. This should normally not be possible. Ram corruption could also lead to a problem like this. 

You should see if you can mount the filesystem read-only and copy as much data as possible. It is important that you fi out why it happened. It is possible that the corruption happened a while ago, but only manifested now after the last power outage.

i checked the ram, it was ok.

however i think there might have been some controller or motherboard issue in 
the meantime. interestingly i have several ext4 disks along this one and they 
demonstrated no issues for the same hw.

currently i upgraded my server with new motherboard/cpu/ram; errors for btrfsck 
are still the same - v4 just detects high level issues; v5 reports millions of 
breaks.

> You should see if you can mount the filesystem read-only and copy as much data as possible. It is important that you fi out why it happened. It is possible that the corruption happened a while ago, but only manifested now after the last power outage.

as per above mounting fails for each and every try and option with various error 
messages. i am wondering if i can maybe manually resolve this bit:

parent transid verify failed on 3646998413312 wanted 3065 found 2747
parent transid verify failed on 3646998413312 wanted 3065 found 2747
parent transid verify failed on 3646998413312 wanted 3065 found 2747

and if this might help to mount fs (in whatever state it is) to salvage at least 
something?

otherwise i shall just reformat it, check for badblocks and most likely use ext4...

Sincerely,
Egor Konstantinov

Btrfs restore can work. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Manpage/btrfs-restore 

I suggest you get help on the irc channel #btrfs on how to use restore. The is a Web client you can use if you don't have a normal IRC app installed. https://web.libera.chat/#btrfs

The error would happen with ext4 but would not be detected so easily. 

USB disks can often lie about supported for barriers, write cache, reordering and dropped writes. 

One option that can help is to disable write cache. 

What hardware do you use now? 

Good luck!
