Cache drive issues

[johnnykilo]

I have 2 caches (1 120GB OCZ SSD and 1 480GB PNY SSD). I think the PNY started having issues a few weeks back (sorry cant remember which one). Now I am getting the 2 errors below on my drives. My appdata is cache only (which I read to be best practice on these forums I believe) so I need to try to get the data back if possible. There isnt anything critical on there but I would prefer not to have to redo all of my dockers.

 

Diagnostics attached.

 

 

Unmountable: No file system (no btrfs devices)

Device is part of cache pool

Constant errors on one of the cache devices:

You can try these options to recover the data, then also see here for better pool monitoring.

So i tried that and got the message below. fdisk -l doesnt show sdb. Restore also didnt work. Per your instructions I also tried sdc1 as well since my cache is a pool. I was able to restore some data from sdc using btrfs restore

 

Thanks,

Anybody?

Like mentioned in the FAQ if the options there don't work best bet is to use the btrfs mailing list and/or their IRC channel for help.
