Right, which is why I'm asking if any of the metadata integrity
checker mask options might reveal what's going wrong?

I guess the big issues are:
a. compile kernel with CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY=y is necessary
b. it can come with a high resource burden depending on the mask and
where the log is being written (write system logs to a different file
system for sure)
c. the granularity offered in the integrity checker might not be enough.
d. might take a while before corruptions are injected before
corruption is noticed and flagged.

So it might be pointless, no idea.
