Emergency - Can't Boot

2011-07-30 Thread .
Help!

I just did my monthly dist-upgrade and rebooted, only to have it stall
at Control D.  It tried to automatically run fsck.btrfs and of course it
failed, and insists that I run it manually.  I can't.  I've rebooted
several times and can't get past Control D.  Don't know where it keeps
track of the number of reboots since last fsck.

What do you do in a case like this?

Debian Testing running kernel 2.6.39-2 and KDE.  btrfs-tools 0.19
+20100601 - the latest in Debian Testing as of today.

Please reply on list and directly to me, as I'm waiting for listserv
approval.

[Just a note -- this seems to have been fixed in a conversation on
 IRC, by linking /bin/true to /bin/fsck.btrfs]

Yes that fixed it.

IMHO a better fix is to just disable fsck on fstab for that fs. Something like

# file system mount point   type  options   dump  pass
LABEL=ROOT  /   btrfs
subvolid=258,compress-force=lzo,noatime0   0

I've done that too.
