I have a question.
Once I get my data out via btrfs restore, can I write that data back
to my root partition ?
I mean I really don't want to format and reinstall my OS again, but
what if I could exfiltrate the data format my root partition and then
again write the backed up data into it.
Would that work?
I am considering this as a last resort, if the fsck fix does not come through.
