Hooray! Bumpkin is back with us.
Phew. After taking a dd copy, just in case, I worked on the partition using this guide - https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:BTRFS
I managed to recover the files to a USB disk using btrfs tools as per the steps in that page, then eventually ran the command you;re warned not to use. That worked a treat.
Happy, because the partition was recovered. Unhappy, as that's the first time I've had a problem with btrfs. Having said that, the tools did their job properly, so all in all, good.
