Hi

I use btrfs for a partition (/dev/sda2) and when I try to boot with a
newer kernel (on openSUSE tumbleweed), the system doesn't finish the
boot and goes into an emergency console and I get the following error
(don't have a log at the moment, but can produce one if needed):

BTRFS critical, corrupt leaf...

if I try to mount the partition, I also get a 'mount could not read
superblock' message.

This is for:

kernel: 5.5.6

I also got the same message for previous kernels.

However, if I boot with an older kernel (5.1.10), everything works OK.

I just chatted with someone on #btrfs on IRC and they suggested to run
(using the new kernel)

btrfs check --readonly
and
btrfs check --repair

this was with btrfs-progs 5.4.1

both didn't find any error or repaired anything, so they suggested to
email the list.

Happy to provide more details if needed.

I'm wondering if I need to format the partition? But wanted to check in
here first also to be able to provide logs if they could be helpful.

Thanks

Arun
