btrfs-scrub: Resume a previously cancelled scrub.
$ sudo btrfs scrub resume ${path-to-btrfs_mount}
try on your machine

This command is used to resume a previously paused or interrupted Btrfs scrub operation on a specified Btrfs file system.

Here's a breakdown of the command components:

  • sudo: It is used to execute the command with administrative privileges. The sudo command allows users to perform tasks as a superuser or another user.

  • btrfs scrub resume: This is the main command. It instructs Btrfs to resume a scrub operation on a file system.

  • ${path-to-btrfs_mount}: This is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the Btrfs file system mount point where the scrub operation needs to be resumed. For example, /mnt/btrfs.

When you execute this command with the appropriate parameters, Btrfs will resume the scrub operation, which checks for data integrity and repairs any errors found on the specified Btrfs file system.
