From f2c3bec215694fb8bc0ef5010f2a758d1906fc2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anand Jain Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 18:32:19 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: add info when mount fails due to stale replace target If the replace target device reappears after the suspended replace is cancelled, it blocks the mount operation as it can't find the matching replace-item in the metadata. As shown below, BTRFS error (device sda5): replace devid present without an active replace item To overcome this situation, the user can run the command btrfs device scan --forget and try the mount command again. And also, to avoid repeating the issue, superblock on the devid=0 must be wiped. wipefs -a device-path-to-devid=0. This patch adds some info when this situation occurs.
