This isn't a race condition, it is built into the filesystem. Later versions of btrfs progs will pull the details right out of udev instead of needing btrfsctl -a, but today the btrfsctl -a is the only way. This is similar to what needs to happen on lvm, its just that the initramfs tools already understand lvm ;) -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
