No volume exists - Case #28413268

Disk array became suddenly unavailable and after a reboot system shows "No volume exists" message.

dmesg.log shows following error:

[Tue May  9 22:39:34 2017] BTRFS (device md127): bad tree block start 635660293921743433 21055037210624
[Tue May  9 22:39:34 2017] BTRFS (device md127): bad tree block start 635660293921743433 21055037210624
[Tue May  9 22:39:34 2017] BTRFS: failed to read tree root on md127
[Tue May  9 22:39:34 2017] BTRFS: open_ctree failed

 

Please tell me what to do, I'm quite desperate as I have 10 TB of data and no backup on that array... :-(

 

Thanks,

Roberto Tosco

    Thanks for your suggestions Stephen, however I managed to connect to my NAS via SSH and mount the array in read-only / recovery mode with command sequence:

     

    mkdir /mnt/recovery

    mount -t btrfs -o ro,recovery /dev/md127 /mnt/recovery

     

    I'm copying all the data to various disks and then I'll try to repair the original filesystem with btrfs check --repair command.

    If that does not work I'll reformat the array and copy back the data.

     

    Hope this can help other users with similar troubles without having to pay money to fix someone else's software bugs...

     

    Cheers from Italy,

    Roberto
