Which kernel are you running? If you're on a 3.2 kernel or you have a recent pull of my git tree, you can try mount -o recovery. My guess is that your machine went down pretty quickly after the loose sata cable fell out? In that case mount -o recovery should work. Otherwise we can work through the copy out recovery tools. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
