After updating from 11.3 to 11.4, Suse no longer remounts / as rw, meaning it cannot finish the boot process. This means every time my mom wants to use her computer I have to come up, remount / and the rest of the filesystems in fstab.
How do I fix this?
-=welcome=- to our forum…been using openSUSE/Linux long?
how did you upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4
did this happen from the very first boot after 11.4, or did it work
right for a while and then suddenly the partitions stopped mounting??
please do these in a user terminal
cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/mtab
df -h
and copy/paste the output back to this thread using the instructions

It happened from every boot since the upgrade from 11.4.

Hmm btrfs. You realise it’s still experimental and that you should know what you are doing?
I do, but it is not as if the data is gone or unreadable.
It is just every boot I have to go:
mount -n -o remount,rw /
mount /home
init 5
After that, everything is hunky dory.

You have to look for errors in the log, and disable boot splash. However,
as you are using btrfs, you are on your own, it is highly experimental. Not
something to install on somebody else’s computer if that person is not an
expert.

To be fair, I did the install about 2 years ago when it was my laptop and forgot btrfs was used since it never caused any problems.
Anyways, I’ve solved the issue with:
ln -s /sbin/btrfsck /sbin/fsck.btrfs

Interesting. I think you should report this in a Bugzilla.
Precisely the fsck code was the bit that needed work.
