can't mount RAID-1 btrfs after reboot
I can't mount RAID-1 btrfs after reboot (well, sort of).
Using 2.6.31-rc5 and btrfs-progs 0.19, I created a RAID-1 fileystem using these command line options:
# mkfs.btrfs -L btrfs-data -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4
After which I was able to mount the filesystem with either of the below (or both):
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/btrfs-sda4
# mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/btrfs-sdb4
After a reboot, I'm no longer able to mount the filesystem from /dev/sda4:
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/btrfs/
Mount command complains and doesn't mount it and says I can find more info in dmesg:
Btrfs loaded
device label btrfs-data devid 1 transid 67 /dev/sda4
btrfs: failed to read the system array on sda4
btrfs: open_ctree failed
I'm able to mount the filesystem by using /dev/sdb4:
# mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/btrfs/
After which I can unmount it, and use /dev/sda4 to mount the filesystem:
# umount /dev/sdb4 # mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/btrfs/
Does it make sense?
It behaved like this also with some earlier kernels.

Try btrfsctl -a first.

It seems to do the trick.
I suppose longer term, doing "btrfsctl -a" before mounting a (RAID) btrfs filesystem shouldn't be needed, or?

Shorter term, writing a udev rule along the lines of
ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="btrfs", RUN+="/sbin/btrfsctl -A %N"
(put it in /etc/udev/rules.d/64-btrfs-scan.rules or so) will cause your btrfs to be scanned when found. Possibly something like this could be distributed with btrfsprogs?
