My BTRFS nvme cache drive is stuck as read-only

[HynesJeff]

This just started to happen all of a sudden. I cant start docker or create any files on the FS.

 

The mover wont move anything off it....

 

Any help is appreciated

 

Btw the drive didn't fill up, smart checks all pass. I don't see any hardware problems.

 

Its been happening randomly recently but a restart usually fixed it. This time it does not seem to be working.

Filesystem is crashing during the balance due to corruption, recommend backing up and re-formatting the pool.

I guess I will take this as the opportunity to move to encrypted cache drive.

 

Should i keep btrfs, or move to xfs?

a lot my files on my cache drive appear to be corrupted... any way to fix taht or is it a loss at this point? (I have appdata backups on the array fortunately but they are a few days old)

 

EDIT: it appears a server reboot fixed the input/output errors while copying.

decided to reformat to xfs - encrypted, and move docker to Directory. Everything seems to be working fine now.
