Subject: Recover btrfs partition after accidental reformat
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2022 20:10:45 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1cb1e7d9-51d0-4c2e-8cd1-6b02d045bcad@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I did a boo boo and reformatted my btrfs partition with NTFS (used the wrong /dev/sdX). It was a single drive with standard options (metadata dup, data single) and it was the only partition of the drive.

I have not written any data to the ntfs partition.

Is there any chance of data recovery? The only thing I found was a backup superblock:

[bluemond@BlueQ ~]$ sudo btrfs insp dump-su -s 2 /dev/sdh1
superblock: bytenr=274877906944, device=/dev/sdh1

I tried using photorec, but the btrfs partition was pretty fresh and I had a ntfs partition with lots of data before that so it finds all kinds of data from the old ntfs partition.
