[SOLVED] Disable fsck on btrfs

I get this error when my LMDE (201109 GNOMEx64 Freshinstall) boots.
"fsck.btrfs file not found" Because btrfs doesn't have an fsck tool.
When i updated to Update Pack 3 (Testing) System doesn't boot, it shows this error and only let me use a root terminal
or "press Ctrl+D to Continue" (computer reboots if i press that key)
Maybe, there's an option for "disable" fsck on my btrfs partitions.
  • /boot - ext4
    / - btrfs
    /home - btrfs
Greetings. :)
PS: I don't know if this post goes here or in "Update/Upgrade Issues"

You could try to edit fstab (carefully !!!) from the root terminal (for example with nano):

Code: Select all

nano /etc/fstab
The last number at the end of each btrfs line should be 0 (which indicates that fsck should not check those filesystems).

In nano, you can save with Ctrl + O followed by <Enter> and quit with Ctrl + x.

Thanks it worked! :D

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/fstab
Change the last 0 to 1 on btrfs partitions.
Save: Ctrl+O; Enter
