No problem! We should talk about a backup plan in another thread :D In my own case, I never need them, but I have 1/2 dozen completely independent backups, because I hate my data and I'm constantly trying to destroy it. (This is turning into a really bad joke but hopefully it's weirdly amusing. If you like your data you *definitely* should be backing up! Doesn't matter what the file system is, or if it's on raid, or "safe" in the cloud, etc.) > > Full output of repair command over here: > https://drive.google.com/file/d/17EQ5TYJE5a4iwRGTXXj9Hh38btxFBLAJ/view?usp=sharing > > 2) btrfs check --init-csum-tree /dev/mapper/dm_crypt > > This is where the minor bad news happens. > > This command exited with a "Segmentation Fault(Core Dumped)" > > Full output here: > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IYnLcw-vkZ2UeH0rOZje4kbhzB_tYaKy/view?usp=sharing Forwarded this to Btrfs dev, so we'll just have to be patient. I strongly suggest some kind of backup of the data, and confirm it's good. Since you were stressed about maybe losing it? Even two copies! Not anything because it's Btrfs but because it's important to you. Bad things happen all the time that have nothing to do with the file system. Because of the --init-csum-tree failure i'm a bit concerned that it's possible the --repair step didn't completely repair things. So... just keep important things backed up. Top priority. If you told me you hate your data then I wouldn't worry about it. > Let me know the next steps ie. Do you need BTRFS logs to diagnose the > root cause of the problem ? Not sure. I've asked. If there's a request to, we'll run it through gdb and see what happens. Can you tell me what you get for: free -m btrfs fi us / It'll give an idea what the memory requirement is for the init-csum-tree. It really should not be a lot, it's less complicated than the repair by a lot. Glad that worked though, phew! -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
