Hello,
I thought I should report something since there was little information
on this error. The situation is I have 2 external hard drives on
Xubuntu. One is not working and I need to move the data over to the
other. I used 'sudo btrfs restore -v /dev/sde1 /mnt/Old4TB' and
received 'Error mkdiring /mnt/Old4TB/Jayda TV:2'. I found one forum
post that said I needed to make the destination folder manually, then
restore. That did not work. looking at your code 2(%d) is a kernel
message? not sure what to make of it. I decided to enter a root
environment with 'sudo su' and the restore worked(the folder still
existed from previous troubleshoot step). The console is showing files
being restored. I tried a dry run first which did not show an error.
Just some feedback and reference.
