[SOLVED] BTRFS /dev/sdd1 (/home) cannot be mounted anymore

Hello!

So, this is kinda strange for me:

Half an hour ago, I tinkered a bit with a bash config and while inside vim it suddenly told me, that the filesystem was read only.

I didn't think too much and thought that maybe a previous update may have caused this, so I rebooted.

Much to my disdain I was dropped to a systemd rescue shell...

btrfs rescue super-recover -v /dev/sdd1 says the blocks are okay

btrfs check on the other hand says that the checksums don't match.

Running btrfs rescue chunk-recover right now.

What else can I do?

Did the hdd really die on me? How can I be sure?

edit: I aborted btrfs rescued chunk-recover and instead looked at the logs again. It turns out, the error message is a bit different than it used to be, but I got "recover log failed" (more or less), so I ran

btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/sdd1

and then mounted successfully with

mount -t btrfs -o recovery,ro /dev/sdd1 /home

next I'll try without ro, but first I'll make a backup of the few changes I did since the last one

Re: [SOLVED] BTRFS /dev/sdd1 (/home) cannot be mounted anymore

I was too eager, it's not solved... falls back to read only after boot sad

So how can I check that the HDD is really dead/has a hardware failure?

Run a long SMART check on the drive and post the results of

smartctl -a /dev/sdd

after the mentioned self check time has elapsed.

I must say though, I am not sure how to read the results - I mean there is a column saying "value" and one labeled "worst" and then there is one with "raw_value".

Value is often worst and raw_value is way over the top. But then if I run

smartctl -H /dev/sdd

output is:

Re: [SOLVED] BTRFS /dev/sdd1 (/home) cannot be mounted anymore

By any chance, did you convert your btrfs from another filesystem type? If yes, you will need to delete the backup that was made of your original filesystem (you should save it somewhere else, first), then rebalance the btrfs.

Re: [SOLVED] BTRFS /dev/sdd1 (/home) cannot be mounted anymore

The RAW_VALUE is what's important, aside from 2 read_errors the drive looks fine, though you might want to post an updated log after the long test has run.

Re: [SOLVED] BTRFS /dev/sdd1 (/home) cannot be mounted anymore

Hey, no I did not convert it, it was btrfs since 2015. I formatted it and to my disdain fucked up my backup due to a very dumb error on my side (remember kids, mount backups as read only, especially if you do rsync --delete and have it mounted inside your home)

So, yes, I screwed this up big time and now my usb stick with the second backup is dying too... doesn't work on any of my laptops anymore, so yeah.

Luckily I could save some data, but I lost quite some projects.

On the bright side: I'll now quadruple my efforts to have sustainable backups, so I hope I learned my lesson.

Thanks everyone, it's "SOLVED"
