BTRFS-RESCUE(8)                  Btrfs Manual                  BTRFS-RESCUE(8)

NAME
       btrfs-rescue - Recover a damaged btrfs filesystem
SYNOPSIS
       btrfs rescue <subcommand> <args>
DESCRIPTION
       btrfs rescue is used to try to recover a damaged btrfs filesystem.
SUBCOMMAND
       chunk-recover [options] <device>
           Recover the chunk tree by scanning the devices
           Options
           -y
               assume an answer of yes to all questions.
           -v
               verbose mode.
           -h
               help.
           Note
           Since chunk-recover will scan the whole device, it will be VERY
           slow especially executed on a large device.
       super-recover [options] <device>
           Recover bad superblocks from good copies.
           Options
           -y
               assume an answer of yes to all questions.
           -v
               verbose mode.
       zero-log <device>
           clear the filesystem log tree
       This command will clear the filesystem log tree. This may fix a
       specific set of problem when the filesystem mount fails due to the log
       replay. See below for sample stacktraces that may show up in system
       log.
       The common case where this happens has been fixed a long time ago, so
       it is unlikely that you will see this particular problem, but the
       utility is kept around.
           Note
           clearing the log may lead to loss of changes that were made since
           the last transaction commit. This may be up to 30 seconds (default
           commit period) or less if the commit was implied by other
           filesystem activity.
       One can determine whether zero-log is needed according to the kernel
       backtrace:
           ? replay_one_dir_item+0xb5/0xb5 [btrfs]
           ? walk_log_tree+0x9c/0x19d [btrfs]
           ? btrfs_read_fs_root_no_radix+0x169/0x1a1 [btrfs]
           ? btrfs_recover_log_trees+0x195/0x29c [btrfs]
           ? replay_one_dir_item+0xb5/0xb5 [btrfs]
           ? btree_read_extent_buffer_pages+0x76/0xbc [btrfs]
           ? open_ctree+0xff6/0x132c [btrfs]
       If the errors are like above, then zero-log should be used to clear the
       log and the filesystem may be mounted normally again. The keywords to
       look for are open_ctree which says that it's during mount and function
       names that contain replay, recover or log_tree.
EXIT STATUS
       btrfs rescue returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is
       returned in case of failure.
