I am puzzled by all this.
Con someone confirm for me please... Its a long long time since I had a problem with my BrtFS ROOTFS, or, for that matter, any of my ReiserFS partitions.... But I seem to recall that when booting the kernel tried to mount a FS and if it fails it runs a FSCK to try and fix it. Is my recollection incorrect? ================================================================================ So if the ROOTFS won't mount and the FSCK does nothing to fix it, what happens? Now I personally don't see that as a problem. Back in the early days when it happened to me I used the RESCUE disk and tools to repair the ROOTFS. Annoying and frustrating, but as they say "it was a learning experience". And I'm still running BtrFS as my ROOTFS. But I wonder about the OP of this thread. He seems to be in the position I was in back then. But I have a little more confidence in the developers. I trust them to be smarter than me (I've found this to be a good rule of thumb) and supplied tools and yes they did and I studied matters and with a bit of experimentation and misunderstanding on my part got the BtrFS fixed and rebooted. A couple of kernel upgrades later the structure of the FS changed and that version of the RESCUE disk wouldn't have worked any more, but the change made BtrFS faster and certainly more reliable.
