There were some changes made to dpkg in order to prevent package meta-data corruption from occurring on btrfs. Btrfs behaves differently from most other file systems in the way dirents are returned while the directory is being modified. I can't remember the exact dpkg version these changes were made. > I installed debian sid on ext3 root, compiled 2.6.34 kernel.

Thanks. Oh, yeah. I ran into this as well. The btrfs module needs to load then crc32c module in order to resolve some symbols. Unfortunately, this seems to be done in a way that depmod does not detect, even in Sid. Because of this, your initramfs may not have the crc32c module available since it is not detected as a dependency of the btrfs module. Add it to /etc/initramfs- tools/modules to force the initramfs to include that module. I believe you need a fairly recent initramfs-tools in order for it to correctly include even the btrfs module, so it maybe be best to use my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules in its entirety: btrfs libcrc32c zlib_deflate crc32c Sorry there's no bug on this. Perhaps there should be one, but I don't know if it is a problem with the btrfs module or depmod. I am currently running btrfs as my root file system. While I have not noticed any breakage I could blame specifically on btrfs, I fear that it may be silently corrupting files in some cases. You may want to use debsums in a cron job, tripwire, or some other monitoring. I had to recover from an unrelated issue and noticed a few packages that had debsums errors during diagnosis. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

That was in dpkg 1.15.7. Both sid and squeeze have 1.15.7.2 now. >> I installed debian sid on ext3 root, compiled 2.6.34 kernel.

Rather the problem is that btrfs depends on libcrc32c but that module does not depend on crc32c (or anything else). Kernel developer Herbert Xu claims that this is because libcrc32c can be used with optimized implementations�. > I believe you need a fairly recent initramfs-tools in order for it to > correctly include even the btrfs module, so it maybe be best to use my > /etc/initramfs-tools/modules in its entirety: > btrfs > libcrc32c > zlib_deflate > crc32c Actually libcrc32c and zlib_deflate do not need to be spelled out, because btrfs depends on them.
