And then unmount and check again? it's in all the subvolumes, including the btrfs send ones. So sure, I can delete my btrfs send snapshots and have to start over, but really btrfs check should fix this better than rm, even if it makes the file not what it was. I can always replace it with a good copy On Mon, May 25, 2020 at 04:51:51PM -0600, Chris Murphy wrote: > Before deleting it, can you check if chattr +C is set? Or what kind of > file is this? Because there's an old loophole in older kernels where saruman:~# lsattr /mnt/mnt/root/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/gstreamer-1.0.mo -------------------- /mnt/mnt/root/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/gstreamer-1.0.mo > You could try just making a 'cp --reflink=never' copy of the file.

I can restore the file from backup without issues, it's more that with btrfs send, I'm not allowed to delete the inode until it cycles out, and I can't cycle it out because btrfs send dies when it sees the inconsistent state. I mean, yes, I can do this and delete all the snapshots, I was just hoping to do slighty better as this is close to wiping the filesystem and starting over (actually it's mostly the same to be honest) Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
