Ok, thanks for making that clear, I wasn't aware of that. But shouldn't the chain of recent root trees kinda allow similar functionality? > It sounds like you've effectively tried this manually, but here's a > link to an btrfs undelete script that also makes use of > btrfs-find-root and 'btrfs restore': Actually I was using that script as a starting point.. Unfortunately, the files I was looking for were nowhere to be found.. From a journal-type functionality I was hoping for a way to actually see the most recent file system actions..
