Hi,
I did it; I used dd and accidentally zapped all of my personal files, which were under the /home directory. This was a btrfs raid0 setup with /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1. I aborted the command after it had started but before it had completed. Neither directory is now mountable, but btrfs fi show produced the following output:
[root@sysresccd /]# btrfs fi show

The portion of the dd command that wrecked the files was "of=/dev/sdd1"
btrfs restore produced just:

However, I was (perhaps optimistically) heartened by what "btrfs-find-root /dev/sdc1" produced:

Superblock thinks the generation is 322292
Superblock thinks the level is 1
Found tree root at 649710272512 gen 322292 level 1
How do I use this information? Is there reason to be optimistic?
Thanks in advance for your help.
