Sorry for that. Also, I've setup my mailinglist account not to receive any messages, so now I don't know how to reply to my mailinglist post. Could you please forward the following answer to the list? In the meantime, I've solved the problem: It's my separate /etc partition (or subvolume, to be more correct). The 'usr' hook in the initramfs can't mount /usr because it doesn't find a valid fstab (residing on the /etc subvolume which is not mounted yet). I'm very new to btrfs and now, after some reading, moved to a way cleaner and more elegant solution: Just made /etc, /home, /usr etc. subvolumes of my root subvolume. This way they are automatically available as soon as root is mounted, there's only one single line needed in fstab and the 'usr' hook can be removed from the initramfs. =============== I guess you can post on the forums if you want to continue the discussion.
