btrfs_merge_bio_hook+a0 error, recovery possible?

Hi,

 

I have a ReadyNAS 204 with the btrfs_merge_bio_hook+a0 error. After reboot I can ssh into the box, but the web interface does not load and the data volume is not mounted.

 

Output of cat /proc/mdstat:

md127 : active raid5 sda3[0] sdd3[3] sdc3[2] sdb3[1]
      11706506496 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]

md1 : active raid6 sda2[0] sdd2[3] sdc2[2] sdb2[1]
      1047424 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdd1[3] sdc1[2] sdb1[1]
      4190208 blocks super 1.2 [4/4] [UUUU]

unused devices: <none>

Output of btrfs fi show:

Label: '1165568a:Volume1'  uuid: 56990628-d1ea-4142-8c3d-5dd32b620f00
        Total devices 1 FS bytes used 8.30TiB
        devid    1 size 10.90TiB used 8.35TiB path /dev/md127

btrfs-progs v4.1.2

It is possible that volume allocation has exceeded 85%. Didn't know it can cause errors. Is there a chance of recovering the volume or is facory reset my only option?

  • Eventually I used --path-regex to restore specific directories and it worked fine. Seems that everything I wanted was copied.

    Hello edkedk,

     

    What's the model number and FW version?

      Can you try booting your NAS into volume read-only mode (a boot menu option) and see if the data is then accessible?

        HI,

         

        Model no. is RN204, fw version 6.4.2

         

        Booting into read-only mode results in btrfs_merge_bio_hook+a0 being displayed and the data volume not mounted.

         

        If I move the disks to a PC running Linux, will I be able to mount the volume?
