I have changed file system label few times in total. When I tried to mount it after that, it became not mountable: # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt mount: Not a directory In dmesg I see the following after above command: [ 5198.413202] BTRFS info (device sdb1): disk space caching is enabled [ 5198.629958] BTRFS: checking UUID tree I have lots of manually sorted downloaded files on this partition (in other words nothing very important but downloading and sorting all files again would require a lot of time), so I would appreciate any help. This is what I have tried so far to restore it: # btrfs check /dev/sdb1 Checking filesystem on /dev/sdb1 UUID: 787e3bc1-7583-4bd8-a52e-e57fd7fc9243 checking extents btrfs: cmds-check.c:2266: check_owner_ref: Assertion `!(rec->is_root)' failed. zsh: abort btrfs check /dev/sdb1 Since it failed after "checking extents" I decided to try --init-extent-tree: # btrfs check --init-extent-tree /dev/sdb1 Checking filesystem on /dev/sdb1 UUID: 787e3bc1-7583-4bd8-a52e-e57fd7fc9243 Creating a new extent tree Failed to find [29376512, 168, 16384] btrfs unable to find ref byte nr 29376512 parent 0 root 1 owner 1 offset 0 Failed to find [30818304, 168, 16384] btrfs unable to find ref byte nr 30818304 parent 0 root 1 owner 0 offset 1 Failed to find [47546368, 168, 16384] btrfs unable to find ref byte nr 47546368 parent 0 root 1 owner 0 offset 1 parent transid verify failed on 29442048 wanted 4 found 2758 Ignoring transid failure checking extents btrfs: cmds-check.c:2266: check_owner_ref: Assertion `!(rec->is_root)' failed. zsh: abort btrfs check --init-extent-tree /dev/sdb1 # btrfs restore /dev/sdb1 /media/backup/sdb1 # this commands exits after a second with 0 return code # echo $? 0 I also tried btrfs restore with --path-regex and got the same result. # btrfs-find-root /dev/sdb1 Super think's the tree root is at 29360128, chunk root 20971520 Well block 4194304 seems great, but generation doesn't match, have=2, want=2759 level 0 Well block 4243456 seems great, but generation doesn't match, have=3, want=2759 level 0 Found tree root at 29360128 gen 2759 level 1 https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Restore talks about picking root with largest transid, but I do not see "transid" in my output, so not sure what to do.
