Hi,


I  ran  into the very same bug.  It seems to be a more conceptual problem than
btrfs-related, but for making btrfsck work, I added this patch: >

 		if [ -f /forcefsck ] || grep -s -w -i "forcefsck" /proc/cmdline
 		then
 			force="-f"
+
+			# btrfsck doesn't know -f
+			mount | while read dev on path type fs fnord; do
+				[ x/ = "x$path" -a xbtrfs = "x$fs" ] \
+					&& break
+			done && force=
 		else
 			force=""
 		fi

<  It  checks  if  /  is  a btrfs file system and then removes the -f from the
fsck(8)  command  line.  I don't know if it's sensible to add something like a
blacklist for "file systems whose fsck doesn't know -f" at this place. 


Cheers,
