Based on the documentation I found at https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Data_Structures I am strugeling to understand the following dmesg[  173.946830] device fsid 02cc6d9f-28c6-45f4-b69e-f3ec8d6c24a5 devid 1 transid 21 /dev/loop0[  173.947044] device fsid 02cc6d9f-28c6-45f4-b69e-f3ec8d6c24a5 devid 1 transid 21 /dev/loop0[  173.947541] btrfs: disk space caching is enabled[  174.000257] btrfs: mismatching generation and generation_v2 found in root item.

Understanding btrfs dmesg
btrfs
The conclusion I made was that my btrfs fs tree got messed up, in the future btrfsck disk would be able to clean things up.For now your stuck with:root@v7:/srv# btrfs-find-root diskSuper think's the tree root is at 29360128, chunk root 20971520Found tree root at 29360128root@v7:/srv# btrfs-restore -t 29360120 disk /mnt/
