    Probably depends a lot on what options you had enabled on BTRFS. Metadata (i.e. what files are stored where) is normally replicated so you may be able to rebuild the information.

    Step 1 is always to copy the filesystem somewhere else, and then work on the copy. That way, if you screw up, you can always make a new copy and start over. Don’t write anything to the drive you’re trying to fix. Always work on the copy. In fact, once you’ve made the copy, disconnect the original.
