Arch Linux

Description:

after upgrading to systemd 207, the system with multiple-device btrfs root filesystem fails to boot. revert to systemd 204 solves the issue.

someone else has also hit this bug, pasting the full description of his (and my) problem (fromaur-general@archlinux.org/msg23981.html"> http://www.mail-archive.com/aur-general@archlinux.org/msg23981.html):

I upgraded to systemd 207 today, and upon reboot received several
messages that say, "failed to open /dev/btrfs-control skipping device
registration: No such file or directory." The btrfs problem faq
suggests that running "mknod /dev/btrfs-control c 10 234" should fix
me up. However, when I run this it says that it already exists. The
only significant changes that I made were to upgrade systemd, and add
the systemd hook to mkinicpio.conf. I tried booting from external
media, and removing the systemd hook, but after re-running mkinitcpio
I still get the same result. Does anyone have any suggestions for
getting past this?

I will happily provide more information if you can tell me what would
be helpful.

Thanks,
