Is there supposed to be an /sbin/fsck.btrfs? I'm seeing a handful of
threads indicating some idea of having it just do a no-op like fsck.xfs
does, but then also the idea that /etc/fstab should correctly set
fs_passno to 0 instead of such trickery.

I ask due to systemd-fstab-generator seemingly getting the idea from
Fedora 20's default /etc/fstab that btrfs should have its file system
checked, and during offline  updates, systemd tries to do this, doesn't
find /sbin/fsck.btrfs, and then has several dozen fits.

So the question, is there supposed to be (one day) a faux
/sbin/fsck.btrfs? Or should things always check /etc/fstab fs_passno and
honor the fact there is really no such thing?

Just symlink/copy fsck.btrfs to (/bin/)true.

Or just do the /etc/fstab fs_passno = 0 thing, which is what I did with
reiserfs, so no change in that regard here when I switched to btrfs
for most partitions.

But I'm on gentoo and haven't opted to drink the systemd koolaid yet,
so what it thinks about that I wouldn't know.


I think it is better to symlink to true, because otherwise mkinitramfs in the default configuration will be complaining about the missing hook (can be ignored of course)
