Package: btrfs-tools
Version: 0.19+20100601-2
Severity: normal

Hi.

This is in principle a follow-up to #559710.

While your hooks solve the problem for systems using initramfs-images
it's still open for systems without initramfs at all (which is totally
legal I guess).

I'm however not sure how to do this the right way:
1) I guess it must be an init script that reverse depends (LSB header
X-Start-Before) on "$local_fs".

2) Does btrfsctl automatically load the btrfs module, or do we have to
manully do that before? (which is somehow ugly IMO)

3) The script should not fail if the module cannot be loaded, perhaps
just warn, that scanning could not be performed.
btrfs-tools might be installed, but a custom kernel might be used without
btrfs being compiled as module or statically.

4) Is there a good way to prevent doubled scanning, if that already
happened in the initramfs?


Cheers,
Chris.
