No. And also, this problem is not related to a memory error. In this
case multiple writes from one commit are missing. They just didn't
make it to stable media. There isn't enough information to know why.
We might get lucky and find some clues in the systemd journal, before
the file system went read only.

What I can tell you is Btrfs doesn't have any known or suspected
defects related to this kind of problem. It writes a superblock only
once it has reason to believe the prior metadata writes were on stable
media. There is also a write time tree checker designed to complain
and go read only the moment there's an inconsistency when writing.
This file system has a longer period of time of writes following the
missing writes, which is also why the 'usebackup' root option didn't
work. And the dropped writes also affect both copies of metadata. It's
very unusual.

Sreyan, is the drive that this file system is on the same drive as in
this reported thread?
