It doesn't print much of anything, I'm afraid:

root@echo:~/misc/btrfs-progs-unstable# ./btrfs-show /dev/mapper/vg_echo-lv_root
failed to read /dev/sr0
failed to read /dev/sdf
failed to read /dev/sde
failed to read /dev/sdd
failed to read /dev/sdc
failed to read /dev/sdb
Btrfs Btrfs v0.19

Same output with btrfs-progs-0.19. The devices it's complaining about
is a USB memory card reader and my optical drive, if I disconnect
those from the SCSI layer the output is simply "Btrfs Btrfs v0.19".

I tried to run btrfsck earlier today, but it only gave me an error
message. Perhaps that just made things worse?

I've got a btrfs-image dump that I took right after the problem showed
for the first time (before the fsck), by the way. It's available at
<http://greed.fud.no/hosed_rootfs.btrfsimage.Z> in case you have any
use for it.

Best regards,
