Btrfs Sees Urgent Fix Following Recent Reports Of Log Tree Corruption

FYI

The bug report from Peter Jung (cachyos) says:

Hi all,

There has been increased reports of users reporting that they could not 
boot into their system anymore - sometimes after a needed force 
shutdown, but also according the users after a normal shutdown/reboot 
process.

The filesystem can be accessible again, after running following command 
in the chroot:

```
sudo btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/sdX
```

There is no way to reproduce this constantly.

the links in the article go into more depth including this fedora forum post.

Some kind of conflict with kernel after hard boots and other freezes…zeroing out the tree or kernel regression seems to be the solutions at current.

The trend is to go to BRTFS for more stability and I’ve been considering that/keeping up with the news.

For anyone reading there are no bad actors or anything malicious going on, just a bug. Interesting reading all the same.

Thanks a lot! Got the Superblock-error some weeks ago and didn’t get that fixed. I had to reinstall my EOS. :slight_smile:
