btrfs kernel panic prevents boot of Ubuntu 18.04. How to fix?
Asked by
Richard H.
I ran
# btrfs bal start -dusage=50
which failed with ENOSPC.
Almost immediately after that, the whole system hangs. The pointer responses to the mouse, but nothing else was happening. I switched to the console, which shows some kernel panic output, including:
RIP: btrfs_root_
This is my primary filesystem. So now, I cannot boot. I get the same kernel panic when I try.
How can I fix the corrupted filesystem without losing data so I can boot it again?
Thanks!
