Hi,
In my time playing around with btrfs I have had difficulty in
mounting and btrfs partitions that use multiple devices. I'm aware
that there is a note about a gotcha on the wiki, but I'm not trying
to mount the btrfs partition as the root.
However, I have noticed that if I force a btrfs filesystem scan
before trying to mount, then everything will work.
I originally created a bug report on the Gentoo Bugzilla:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309219
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 ;)
