Revision history [back]

My phone just stopped working over night, and didn't even wake me up as it was supposed to in the morning. running the recovery mode and going for the btrfs commands gives me this:

/ # btrfs fi show Label: 'sailfish' uuid: 86180ca0-d351-4551-b262-22b49e1adf47 Total devices 1 FS bytes used 11.84GiB devid 1 size 13.75GiB used 13.74GiB path /dev/mmcblk0p28

Btrfs v3.16 / #

So the main partition is obviously full. Any btrfs command attempting to balance and free some space fails miserably with ioctl errors:

/ # btrfs balance start -dusage=1 / ERROR: error during balancing '/' - Inappropriate ioctl for device There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail

I am also UNABLE TO MOUNT IT AND RECOVER ANY OF MY DATA! This is extremely frustrating, and as a Jolla fan, and as a person who used to work personally with the main people that built this company, I can only say that I am really disappointed that in 2 years of development, basic features are still not present. I am referring to features such as enabling the camera to save on SD card instead of the device memory.

And now this. How is it possible that a device dies completely and all the data is irrecoverable when the disk is full?

Really guys, I have bought 2 Jollas already and have a couple of friends who bought them because I suggested them the device, but if my data is lost forever because of this idiotic software bug, then this is the last one I will ever use.

It is incredibly frustrating, and instead of playing 250 EUR for something that dies every now and then for reasons like misalignment of planets, I would rather spend double or triple for something else that just works and I can at least rely on to wake me up in the morning...
