Revisit of a previous issue. Summary, single drive btrfs has lots of data. Made a RAID1 with another drive of just the metadata. Was in that state for less than 12 hours-ish, removed the second drive and now cannot get to any data on the original drive. Single drive btrfs was made on Ubuntu with kernel 3.13.0 and tools 3.12. Was running fine as a single drive for a while, I added another drive to the system and wanted to see what RAID1 for metadata would look like. Turned it on, was doing fine. Forgot I had done that, shutdown the PC and removed the extra drive. Now nothing I've tried can access the original single drive. $ sudo mount -o degraded /dev/sdc1 /media/Data/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so $ dmesg | tail [45353.869448] KBD BUG in ../../../../../../../../ drivers/2d/lnx/fgl/drm/kernel/gal.c at line: 304!

Still get the same result from 'chunk-recover'. There's 305 healthy chunks, is there anyway to recover that data and forget about the bad ones? A good portion of the data on that drive was backed up, but some wasn't. My fault, I've learned. Can I get anything back from that drive?
