+=====================
+
+NAME
+----
+btrfs-select-super - overwrite superblock with a backup
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*btrfs-select-super* -s number dev
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*btrfs-select-super* destructively overwrites all copies of the superblock
+with a specified copy.  This helps with certain cases of damage, especially
+when barriers were disabled during a power failure.  You can find a valid
+copy of the superblock with *btrfs check -s*.
+
+The filesystem specified by `dev` must not be mounted.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-s|--super <superblock>::
+use <superblock>th superblock copy, valid values are 0 up to 2 if the
+respective superblock offset is within the filesystem
+
+SEE ALSO
+--------
+`btrfsck check`(8)
