@@ -17,6 +17,24 @@ allow you to mount the filesystem again.
 The common case where this happens has been fixed a long time ago,
 so it is unlikely that you will see this particular problem.
 
+One can determine whether 'btrfs-zero-log' is needed according to the kernel
+backtrace:
+----
+? replay_one_dir_item+0xb5/0xb5 [btrfs]
+? walk_log_tree+0x9c/0x19d [btrfs]
+? btrfs_read_fs_root_no_radix+0x169/0x1a1 [btrfs]
+? btrfs_recover_log_trees+0x195/0x29c [btrfs]
+? replay_one_dir_item+0xb5/0xb5 [btrfs]
+? btree_read_extent_buffer_pages+0x76/0xbc [btrfs]
+? open_ctree+0xff6/0x132c [btrfs]
+----
+
+If the errors are like above, then 'btrfs-zero-log' should be used to clear
+the log and the filesystem may be mounted normally again.
+
+NOTE: If you use btrfs as the root filesystem, you may want to include
+'btrfs-zero-log' into initramdisk if the log problems hits you often.
+
 EXIT STATUS
 -----------
 'btrfs-zero-log' will return 0 if no error happened.
