Hey Denis, btrfs failures are a bitch! I''ve had them happen to me on
multiple
occasions and am much wiser about backups now. I''m cross posting this
to the
mailing list so it will be on record in case anyone else has this issue (and so
smarter people may chime in).
In the email you''re referencing, I describe getting an older kernel
(2.6.32
series) and patching btrfs to ignore checksums, since that tree is
what''s
broken. Then mounting read-only and copying the data to another partition. I
can''t get to kerneltrap for some reason so below is the patch I
created. I''ve
never use Ubuntu so I can''t give you any advice on custom kernels for
that
platform but as a btrfs user, you''re probably used to compiling kernels
every
other week ;)
The above might be purely academic though. There seems to be some on-the-fly
repair magic build into recent kernels. If all else fails, you should grab a
recent git of progs; I hear there''s some tool that will copy data from
a busted
btrfs to another volume.
Good luck!
