Yesterday, I just lost access to a btrfs partition. I don't think of something that could have induce that. I tried to remake the partition using diskdrake. I had the message asking to format, and check for bad blocks (yes to both): # mkfs.btrfs -c /dev/sda5 mkfs.btrfs: invalid option -- 'c' usage: mkfs.btrfs [options] dev [ dev ... ] options: -A --alloc-start the offset to start the FS -b --byte-count total number of bytes in the FS -d --data data profile, raid0, raid1, raid5, raid6, raid10, dup or single -f --force force overwrite of existing filesystem -l --leafsize size of btree leaves -L --label set a label -m --metadata metadata profile, values like data profile -M --mixed mix metadata and data together -n --nodesize size of btree nodes -s --sectorsize min block allocation -r --rootdir the source directory -K --nodiscard do not perform whole device TRIM -V --version print the mkfs.btrfs version and exit Btrfs v0.20-rc1 Without checking for bad blocks: # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda5 WARNING! - Btrfs v0.20-rc1 IS EXPERIMENTAL WARNING! - see http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org before using No valid Btrfs found on /dev/sda5 Open ctree failed I suggestion marke btrfs as EXPERIMENTAL in diskdrake, as I didn't know the status of it before I lose a partition....
