- Rebuild the filesystem metadata tree (very slow):
`sudo btrfs rescue chunk-recover {{path/to/partition}}`
- Fix device size alignment related problems (e.g. unable to mount the filesystem with super total bytes mismatch):
`sudo btrfs rescue fix-device-size {{path/to/partition}}`
- Recover a corrupted superblock from correct copies (recover the root of filesystem tree):
`sudo btrfs rescue super-recover {{path/to/partition}}`
- Recover from an interrupted transactions (fixes log replay problems):
`sudo btrfs rescue zero-log {{path/to/partition}}`
- Create a `/dev/btrfs-control` control device when `mknod` is not installed:
`sudo btrfs rescue create-control-device`
