[Bug 1989677] Re: btrfs dev scan fails to find all devices

[Ken Sharp]

Tried in a VM:

Install 18.04, add partitions to both sda and sdb up to 10, upgrade to
20.04, and it seems to work fine.

I don't know how to reproduce this reliably, but I definitely need the
script to run on my system or it won't boot.

Title:
  btrfs dev scan fails to find all devices

Status in btrfs-progs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04, my computer failed to boot.

  I eventually figured out that `btrfs device scan` does not detect all
  of the devices for my root filesystem, one of which is /dev/sdb10.

  Is the program hardcoded to do this?

  Workaround is to create /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-
  premount/btrfs:

  ------
  #!/bin/sh

  set -e

  modprobe btrfs
  /bin/btrfs device scan
  /bin/btrfs device ready /dev/sdb10
  ------

  I've had a quick look through device-scan.c from the upstream kernel
  but I don't see anything in there that would suggest it should be
  stopped after /dev/sdX9.

  I'm sure this can be recreated fairly easily in a VM but I haven't
  tried that. I will do so if needed.
