Hi!
With kernel 4.3-rc7 and btrfs-progs 4.2.2 I get:
merkaba:~> btrfs check /daten
Superblock bytenr is larger than device size
Couldn't open file system
It took me a moment to see that I used a mountpoint and that this may be the
reason for the error message.
Maybe check for a device file as argument and give a clearer error message
in this case?
Thanks,
--
