We should talk about a backup plan in another thread :D In my own
case, I never need them, but I have 1/2 dozen completely independent
backups, because I hate my data and I'm constantly trying to destroy
it. (This is turning into a really bad joke but hopefully it's weirdly
amusing. If you like your data you *definitely* should be backing up!
Doesn't matter what the file system is, or if it's on raid, or "safe"
in the cloud, etc.)
Now that the filesystem is working should I take a partclone backup or
a dd backup ?
Partclone is small but since as you say the filesystem is not
completely fixed, my backup may be messed up.
While a dd backup keeps things the way they are.
Because of the --init-csum-tree failure i'm a bit concerned that
it's
possible the --repair step didn't completely repair things. So... just
keep important things backed up. Top priority. If you told me you hate
your data then I wouldn't worry about it.
I too believe that the repair is not complete. I say this because when
I started my system my swap file could not be activated and System
Logging Service failed to start.
I have disabled my swap file and will recreate it and the System
Logging Service is now working after a reboot.
Can you tell me what you get for:
free -m
btrfs fi us /
It'll give an idea what the memory requirement is for the
init-csum-tree. It really should not be a lot, it's less complicated
than the repair by a lot. Glad that worked though, phew!
