When I restart I the computer I get an error message that tells me I’m in an emergency mode half the time and other times it’ll boot in, but I’m stuck in this state of not being able to do anything whatsoever.

This is the 2nd time within a week this has happened. The 1st time this happened, I just backed up what I needed and nuked the drive and started fresh. It had been a while, so I figured what the hell. This reinstall has been going less than a week and it’s happened again.

This is a clear warning that the device has massive problems!
The last time I ignored such warning signs, it cost me more than 100€ for data recovery. It was still a spinning disk though. Since then I’ve been healed!

Please contact your system administrator.

Since you are the admin:

Don’t repair, replace !

[ 9364.334241] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p3): block=59469742080 write time tree block corruption detected
[12763.456781] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p3: state EMA): Remounting read-write after error is not allowed

Most other file systems would only have reported this when data had already been lost! Because BTRFS writes (and checks) checksums, it notices the error IMMEDIATELY.

BTRFS will not allow you to write more data to a defective drive !

All data written before the message is normally intact (eventually do a btrfs scrub from within a live manjaro). But if the drive finally fails, there is no rescue other than the professionals (which costs a lot of money)

P.S.:

• You will be able to mount the filesystem readonly for recovery (with rsync)

• Or you could clone it with btrfs send/receive

• Do recover your data using a live manjaro (iso/usb). Not with your broken system !
