This. Btrfs blew up without ANY reason at all in my case. Rebooted and the system won't even recognize any filesystem. All btrfs tools fails to recover a single file.

Here is my journey: https://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=39143

I switched to ZFS and never Bad a Problem again.

I've had a ZFS array running since ~2009. It's gone through upgrades and disk replacements, etc. Have not suffered a data loss in that time. ZFS I'd the goat.

I used ZFS until it self-corrupted and refused to mount rw ever again. Community support was totally unhelpful and there was no resolution except buy another array and use something else. There's way too much ZFS cult fanboy glazing out there it doesn't deserve.

Now that's something I've not heard of before. On what OS? What happened, as far as you know or can tell?

It would mount read-only, then? So you could copy your stuff off onto other media? Because if so, it's better than my experiences with Btrfs.
