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. uname -a Linux emb 4.10.0-38-generic #42-16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 10 16:21:20 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux btrfs --version btrfs-progs v4.4 Thank you, Jayotis
