|
=====================
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**btrfs-select-super** -s number <device>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Destructively overwrite all copies of the superblock with a specified copy.
|
|
This helps in certain cases, for example when write barriers were disabled
|
|
during a power failure and not all superblocks were written, or if the primary
|
|
superblock is damaged, e.g. accidentally overwritten.
|
|
|
|
The filesystem specified by *device* must not be mounted.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Prior to overwriting the primary superblock, please make sure that the
|
|
backup copies are valid!
|
|
|
|
To dump a superblock use the :command:`btrfs inspect-internal dump-super` command.
|
|
|
|
Then run the check (in the non-repair mode) using the command :command:`btrfs check -s`
|
|
where *-s* specifies the superblock copy to use.
|
|
|
|
Superblock copies exist in the following offsets on the device:
|
|
|
|
- primary: 64KiB (65536)
|
|
- 1st copy: 64MiB (67108864)
|
|
- 2nd copy: 256GiB (274877906944)
|
|
|
|
A superblock size is 4KiB (4096).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-s|--super <N>
|
|
use Nth superblock copy, valid values are 0 1 or 2 if the
|
|
respective superblock offset is within the device size
