Thanks to Su and Qu, I was able to get my filesystem to a point that
it's mountable.
I then deleted loads of snapshots and I'm down to 26.
IT now looks like this:
gargamel:~# btrfs fi show /mnt/mnt
Label: 'dshelf2' uuid: 0f1a0c9f-4e54-4fa7-8736-fd50818ff73d
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 12.30TiB
devid 1 size 14.55TiB used 13.81TiB path /dev/mapper/dshelf2
gargamel:~# btrfs fi df /mnt/mnt
Data, single: total=13.57TiB, used=12.19TiB
System, DUP: total=32.00MiB, used=1.55MiB
Metadata, DUP: total=124.50GiB, used=115.62GiB
Metadata, single: total=216.00MiB, used=0.00B
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B
Problems
1) btrfs check --repair _still_ takes all 32GB of RAM and crashes the
server, despite my deleting lots of snapshots.
Is it because I have too many files then?
2) I tried Su's master git branch for btrfs-progs to try and see how a
normal check would go, and I'm stuck on this:
gargamel:/var/local/src/btrfs-progs.sy# time ./btrfsck --mode=lowmem --repair /dev/mapper/dshelf2
enabling repair mode
WARNING: low-memory mode repair support is only partial
Checking filesystem on /dev/mapper/dshelf2

ERROR: failed to repair root items: Invalid argument

I understand what the message means, I just need to switch to the newer root
but honestly I'm not quite sure how to do this from the btrfs-check man page.
This didn't work:
time ./btrfsck --mode=lowmem --repair --chunk-root=18446744073709551607 /dev/mapper/dshelf2
enabling repair mode
WARNING: low-memory mode repair support is only partial
WARNING: chunk_root_bytenr 18446744073709551607 is unaligned to 4096, ignore it
How do I address the error above?
Thanks
Marc
