make btrfs-image work
RFC 1/1 make btrfs-image work
Hello,
btrfs-image would be very helpful for debugging some users problems that we can't reproduce ourselves, but every image that i try and re-create with btrfs-image makes btrfs panic. This is because we zero out the superblocks chunk array and re-create our uuid. This means that we end up not being able to read the chunk tree on mount, and then even if we could the uuid's of the metadata we read back wouldn't match the uuid of the device. The way I've fixed this is to just spit the metadata back onto the disk exactly the way we got it. The caveat to this I think is that if we try to image a multi-device setup that it won't work right unless we have a multi-device setup to restore the image onto. I'm not sure if thats the goal or not. This patch makes the single disk case work fine for me. Let me know what you think. Thanks,
Josef

The goal of btrfs-image is create image that can be examined by btrfsc= k and
btrfs-debug-tree. btrfs-image creates metadata image for btrfs' logical=
address
space. So your patch only works for the uncommon case that btrfs' logic= al
address is mapped to offset of device.

Ok, but I think it would be helpful to be able to restore the fs onto a=
device
and still be able to use it like a normal fs so we can debug other type= s of
problems. But I don't really care that much so if that wasn't the inte= nded goal
I'll find something else to work on. Thanks,
Josef
