Thank you for writing this tool. It was able to save some 80% of all data from a 
very broken btrfs filesystem. I could mount the filesystem but it would hang after 
just a few accesses with thousands of parent transid verify failed messages and
btrfsck just exited immediately with some huge negative number as the only 
indication of what was wrong. Using the btrfsck -s $number option also didn't 
help but your tool seemed to do the job just fine.

I still have the broken filesystem as I'm interested to see what Chris Masons new 
btrfsck code can do with it so if anybody is interested in further debugging I can 
probably help with that.

Bryan Østergaard
