Kernel 6.10.9 Causes System to Boot to Read-Only Mode for BTRFS

I use this computer for daily work and it would take a lot of time/work to reinstall everything in a case of failed repair.

BTRFS is designed to go read-only when a problem is detected so you can preserve your data in case the reported damage is real. If you don’t provide:

@chrismurphy

more and complete (not filtered or trimmed) dmesg to see if either of your cases fit either of the ones we’re tracking.

You don’t know if the BTRFS filesystem is damaged, so you should make sure important data are backed up, then provide as much detail as possible to help understand the why 6.10.9 boots to read-only mode.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything in the journal. IIRC the dmesg was something like corrupted leaf… very similar to what @stadsport shared in the OP. I still have the 6.10.9 kernel but to reproduce the problem to collect more info would be too risky. I use this computer for daily work and it would take a lot of time/work to reinstall everything in a case of failed repair.

Same for me. The most info I was able to get through all of this was the partial log in my original post (which, I have to reiterate, I saw nothing in the logs prior to what I posted that indicated anything abnormal), and the logs posted here and here.

Now that the issue is fixed, there are no such errors in dmesg.
