This morning, I saw the notification announcing update 1.1.7.25. I have hit the "Perform optimization" button in the GUI and put the phone aside. I thought it might take some time like it did with update 1.1.7.24.

When I took it again, I saw the Jolla logo boot-up screen and after that only a black screen with the LED lit in white. Probably the phone rebooted. After waiting some hours without anything happening, I rebooted then phone (long press of power button, LED lit red, wait, press power button), but it was stuck again.

So, I followed the tutorial on how to enter recovery mode. I have chosen "5) Try btrfs recovery if your device is in bootloop". This outputs "Root mounted with recovery options". After waiting some hours more, I opened a second telnet session and went into a shell. There, dmesg shows the following:

Now, every time I try to mount the file system, I get the kernel error mentioned above. I think it is triggered because my file system is full with meta data, which is known to cause problems.

I have the problem that I cannot delete any data, because the file system is always mounted read-only and I cannot get it writable (e.g., a remount does not work). Therefore, I also cannot start a new balance operation. Do you have any recommendations on how to proceed?

Hi @Benjamin, thanks for detailed report and welcome to TJC. Could you use some tags in your question, they help Jolla sailors to organize and address the issues?

simo ( 2015-07-28 15:33:14 +0300 )edit

I added some additional tags.

Benjamin ( 2015-07-28 15:35:41 +0300 )edit

looks good now :) In the future, max 4 suggested (to leave room for one by Jolla to add, but they can also replace any so it's not a big deal)

Hey, your issue seems similar to this post. You guys should regroup the discussions on a single topic.

Looks like we have the same issue. As soon as i am able to safely recover all photos and videos, i'll try to create a bigger volume by combining the storage space in jolla with sd card. Hopefully that could then be mounted as rw and some junk could be removed.

(More on that can be found from: https://together.jolla.com/question/30822/root-and-home-disks-full-and-causing-various-problems/

"In case you get "no space left on device" when you are running the balance, you can use the external SD card to get the extra space:"

dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/sdcard/0000-BDCB/btrfs bs=100M count=5
losetup -v -f /media/sdcard/0000-BDCB/btrfs
btrfs device add /dev/loop0 /

That way the balance can get the needed extra. You can remove the device like this:

btrfs device delete /dev/loop0 /

Not sure if that helps, but if it will, I'll let you know

By disabling the btrfs balance during mounting with the option skip_balance (see command below), I was able to circumvent the error.

mount -t btrfs -o skip_balance /dev/mmcblk0p28 /mnt/

After that, I deleted some large files, canceled the balancing in the background (btrfs balance cancel /mnt), and started a balance again. Then, I could leave the recovery mode, reboot the phone normally, and install update 1.1.7.25 successfully.

Thanks a lot! Exactly same problem! Your answer saved my phone and my day :)

petRUShka ( 2015-09-01 13:04:19 +0300 )edit

Look's like I have the same problem you had. I've tried your solution but btrfs balance cancel is in my case not possible (ERROR: balance cancel on '/mnt' failed - Not in progress).

1. Mount with the option skip_balance 
2. Remove files 
3. btrfs balance cancel /mnt 
4. btrfs balance start /mnt 
5. umount
6. reboot

Did I miss something? Thanks in advance!

gh ( 2015-11-12 14:07:52 +0300 )edit

I am not sure. After mounting with the skip_balance option, I had no problem cancelling the balance. Do you see the same error message in the logs?

Benjamin ( 2015-11-12 18:55:55 +0300 )edit

Skipping BTRFS balancer, removing files and doing a BTRFS balance saved my phone, a million times thanks!
