The recovery drops to shell but it's impossible to fix btrfs - there's unkillable mount -t btrfs... process hanging and kernel regularly pukes with "btrfs- transacti blocked for 120 seconds" message. This is beyond horrible - the whole purpose of recovery mode is to fix errors like that, errors on partition which is not used to boot from (e. g. /home) should never ever break it. Alternatively you could add new mode to grub menu - smth like "recovery which actually works" or something like that. The workaround is to add 'break=premount' to grub command line and fix btrfs with 'btrfs check --repair /dev/dm-....' from initramfs. Found on xubuntu 15.04 x86_64.
