$ sudo btrfs inspect-internal logical-resolve ${logical_address} ${path-to-btrfs_mount}

try on your machine

This command is used to inspect and resolve logical addresses within a Btrfs filesystem. Let's break down the command:

sudo stands for "superuser do" and it is a command that allows you to execute other commands with elevated privileges or as the root user. It is typically used when administrative access is required.
btrfs is the command-line tool for managing the Btrfs file system.
inspect-internal is a specific command within the btrfs tool that allows you to inspect internal details of the file system.
logical-resolve is an option of the inspect-internal command. It is used to resolve logical addresses within the Btrfs filesystem. Logical addresses are used by Btrfs to locate specific data blocks on disk.
${logical_address} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual logical address you want to resolve. Logical addresses are typically represented as hexadecimal values.
${path-to-btrfs_mount} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the mounted Btrfs filesystem where you want to execute the command.

By running this command with the appropriate values for ${logical_address} and ${path-to-btrfs_mount}, you will retrieve information about the physical address corresponding to the logical address within the Btrfs filesystem.
