(btrfsck --repair --init-extent-tree) Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 18:58:48 +0100 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-btrfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Dear list, I've been trying to recover a 2TB single disk btrfs from a good few days ago as already commented on the list. btrfsck complained of an error in the extents and so I tried: btrfsck --repair --init-extent-tree /dev/sdX That was 8 days ago. The btrfs process is still running at 100% cpu but with no disk activity and no visible change in memory usage. Looped? Is there any way to check whether it is usefully doing anything or whether this is a lost cause? The only output it has given, within a few seconds of starting, is: parent transid verify failed on 911904604160 wanted 17448 found 17449 parent transid verify failed on 911904604160 wanted 17448 found 17449 parent transid verify failed on 911904604160 wanted 17448 found 17449 parent transid verify failed on 911904604160 wanted 17448 found 17449 Ignoring transid failure Any comment/interest before abandoning? This all started from trying to delete/repair a directory tree of a few MBytes of files... Regards, Martin
