Yes, and after the git patch I sent on 3.3.2014 my development continued and |
| 14 |
I discovered that there is some code missing for the case that the multi-disk- |
| 15 |
btrfs is "not clean" and the initrd can only try to mount it in "degraded" |
| 16 |
mode. |
| 17 |
Here comes my question: In that situation - what is the best way the initrd |
| 18 |
should behave? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- - inform the user and ask if / should be mounted in degraded mode |
| 21 |
(allow the user to exit to a shell and do some troubleshooting, implement |
| 22 |
a kernel cmdline parameter e.g. "dobtrfs=degraded" to override the question |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
- - never try this automatically, just print a message that a kernel cmdline parameter |
| 25 |
e.g. "dobtrfs=degraded" is needed and stop boot process |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- - none of the above, instead do this: ...... |

I like to see this auto-support for btrfs, too. |

Very good idea! I think I received most of the future contents as an email from |
| 42 |
you! |

Yes, and with my work on btrfs support bug #499716 can be closed. |

I will look through the list of bugs an see if I can work on some other open bugs... |
