I was hit, but think my FS has been under 90% full at all times.
(checked in single user, w/ r/o mount)

Any way to find out which files (history) are affected?

Why is -B recommended?
In hammer.8 -B is 'not recommended'; should this just be removed?

Any way to restore root PFS (#0) fully?
Root PFS can not be downgraded to slave, for mirror-write,
so I see no way to get history restored.

Beware of cpdup'ing root PFS; symlinks for already restored PFSs
will be overwritten.

Also remember to copy PFS config (if you use non default).
(I had to restore PFSs twice, as I did 'hammer cleanup' too early)
