[Bug 748340] Re: btrfsck fails with "unsupported option features", must [ignore] to boot

[Miha Vrhovnik]

This one has just bitten me in my ass on 12.04. And our mngmt. is pissed
as hell because of this bug our services were unavailable for quite some
time. Running on EC2 and fixing a nonbootable instance requires a
special procedure. We are really wondering why after a year this is not
fixed in a 12.04 LTS.

Title:
  btrfsck fails with "unsupported option features", must [ignore] to
  boot

Status in “btrfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: btrfs-tools

  current btrfsck on natty reports:
  couldn't open because of unsupported option features (2).
  fsck.btrfs: disk-io.c:683: open_ctree_fd: Assertion `!(1)' failed.
  ...if invoked on the standard root/home.

  Meaning that when the link fsck.btrfs -> btrfsck was enabled as per Bug #660649 my system now stops booting with this message:
  fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
  fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
  fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
  couldn't open because of unsupported option features (2).
  fsck.btrfs: disk-io.c:683: open_ctree_fd: Assertion `!(1)' failed.
  Warning... fsck.btrfs for device /dev/sda5 exited with signal 6.
  mountall: fsck /home [313] terminated with status 8
  mountall: Unrecoverable fsck error: /home
  couldn't open because of unsupported option features (2).
  fsck.btrfs: disk-io.c:683: open_ctree_fd: Assertion `!(1)' failed.
  Warning... fsck.btrfs for device /dev/sda5 exited with signal 6.
  mountall: fsck / [312] terminated with status 8
  mountall: Unrecoverable fsck error: /
  /dev/sda1: clean, 233/48768 files, 44709/194560 blocks
  init: udev-fallback-graphics main process (625) terminated with status 1

  If [I] is pressed to ignore errors booting can be done normally, just bypassing btrfsck completely.
