I got the response (error msg) that-

This is one reason I have a very small ROOT file system and lots and lots of mounted file systems. In maintenance mode I can unmount then all and easily fsck them. Yes the ROOT-fs is another matter, ...
Considering that '/' is where all the "really good" stuff is, checking '/' for errors is rather "front-page stuff" wouldn't you agree? :-) NOT!
The core stuff may be in /bin and /lib but the "fun" stuff is in /opt and /usr/local. Heck, many of the essentials are in /usr/bin and /usr lib.
I know that you keep trying, but you often miss the point :-) (and I mean this in a nice way). When one installs openSUSE, the installation process gives you the option of creating '/' and '/home' directories (the swap partition is not really mentioned in the choice as I remember). This means that all the "good stuff" is sitting in '/' when oS is installed. Yes or No to the above last paragraph? And as a normal, standard, sane, user of openSUSE I do not go about bothering about all the /bin and the /lib and the /usr/local and the /usr/bin and the /usr/lib s*** you mention above. I simply want to use openSUSE - just like someone who is into Windows wants to use Windows without having to take a Microsoft Certified Training Course to fiddle the Window's guts. Got the picture? :-) Alright, there *are* a few things I can fiddle with in oS to suit myself but they DO NOT involve all the "/opt" etc and so on which you mention :-) . I install openSUSE on a partition which is '/' and with a swap partition. NO separate /home - just '/' and swap. That's it - except that I create on a second HDD a partition to where I then SYMLINK most of the directories in my /home partition.
If you don't know how to make /usr mountable, then at the very least migrate off /usr/share to a seperate FS.
The logic behind having one FS for the whole system, the plan behind BtrFS, spanning multiple spindles, scares me.
BTRFS terrifies me as well which is why I won't touch it for years until it proves to be as reliable as, say, Reiserfs, or ext4 (with whatever faults it may have).
I know there is a posture of "all the eggs in one basket and make it a very good basket and protect it" -- see evolutionary biology models for details -- but BtrFS is still unstable. I've subscribed to the btrfs development list and the patches are coming though fast and furious, and many of the bugs/fixes seem .... Gee, what did we learn in programming 101?
Dunno, tell me - what did you learn in "programming 101"?
