I have to be blunt, blaming your problems on debian isn't terribly classy. The "oooo, shiny!" reflex is your fault, not debian's. Download and install a prebuilt 2.6.35 or later kernel into your /boot via a livecd or whatever, unpack and add the btrfs command to the initramfs for that kernel, boot up into that initramfs with the kernel option "break=premount", and fix the rootfs from the busybox prompt. Alternatively, an ubuntu natty alpha livecd has a 2.6.38 kernel, and you can install mostly up-to-date btrfs tools into that environment. I'm sure debian has something similar available. --Carey Underwood -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
