I don't know how, but suddenly it was unmountable, so I tried to recover and unfortunately used btrfsck - - repair pretty early in. Now I can mount, but my drive is displayed as pretty much empty (though 800 GB are still used according to GParted). I also can't recover anything using btrfs restore (getting parent transid failure a few thousand times).
I know I've made a mistake, especially the use of btrfsck - - repair early on, and maybe even using btrfs, but reminding me of that isn't really helpful

Too cool to use ext4 or whatever the heck is default nowadays?
Jordan Howard
Switch to HFS+ it's less starved for data than butterfingerFS.
Andrew Richardson
Use a recovery application, just like there is thousand for ntfs, hfs and fat32, sure there should be a couple on linux right?...RIGHT?

You wont find help here you are better off looking for help on forums or reddit

>ext4 Not him but ext4 doesn't have snapshots or checksums

cool story bro

Too retarded to not shitpost?

You should of used NTFS, retard.
Luke Peterson
It's fucking rad, man.
Henry Collins
would it help to remind you should have had backups
William Bailey
Yep, it's pretty dope. Subvolumes are probably my favorite part.
However, performance sucks for VM images for me, even with the C attribute set.

>Update: I've now been able to confirm with Red Hat that this change affects RHEL6 only and that Btrfs will be supported in RHEL7, still bad wording in the documentation.

I use btrfs and haven't really had problems (other than that time I accidentally nuked the header of the underlying LUKS partition of one of my partitions), but I still keep backups like a sensible person.
Why didn't you do that too, OP?
Colton Ward
Thanks for posting this. I don't use Red Hat, but if I need to in the future, this is good to know.
I don't blame them; as far as I can tell, btrfs isn't their baby, and I doubt supporting it is easy. As far as I understand, its design is totally different than traditional GNU/Linux filesystems.

Most people are to stupid to read the documentations, no matter if ZFS or BTRFS. They all mention at least once that you should still have backups.
Blake Moore
btrfs is just a shitty substitute for zfs which is perfectly fine and doesn't need a replacement, now you know
Aiden Young
Shit, I saw that post but misread it somehow. Thank you family
I still wouldn't use btrfs on anything but a fresh kernel, though. The development moves very fast still

>RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10;[31][32] however, as of March 2014 RAID 5 and RAID 6 are considered experimental features[33][34] Btrfs could be such a nice fs, but no, oracle has to screw it.
Blake Ortiz
Yeah, just like they did to ZFS...eh wait.
Mason Green
Got my ZFS volumes up and running.
I made 3 partitions across 3 disks and set them each as a different RAID type. The first is a RAID 1 with 3 disks on the first partitions on the drive. The second is a RAID 5 in the second partitions and the 3rd is a RAID 0 for quick sequential.
