[SOLVED] mkinitcpio: btrfs and fsck conflict

After upgrade I have error:

==> Building image from preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> Starting build: 3.6.9-1-ARCH
  -> Running build hook: [base]
  -> Running build hook: [udev]
  -> Running build hook: [keymap]
  -> Running build hook: [autodetect]
  -> Running build hook: [modconf]
  -> Running build hook: [block]
  -> Running build hook: [filesystems]
  -> Running build hook: [usbinput]
  -> Running build hook: [fsck]
==> ERROR: file not found: `fsck.btrfs'
==> WARNING: No fsck helpers found. fsck will not be run on boot.
  -> Running build hook: [encrypt]
  -> Running build hook: [btrfs]
  -> Running build hook: [vbox]

I deleted fsck as temporary solution to build image.
What is the real solution?

Re: [SOLVED] mkinitcpio: btrfs and fsck conflict

I think it is 'btrfsck'.

EDIT: Have a look at this thread-
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1121677

Re: [SOLVED] mkinitcpio: btrfs and fsck conflict

I tried to install from AUR:  btrfs-progs-git and mkinitcpio-btrfs
Replaced hook btrfs with btrfs_advanced
Still have error:

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux
==> Building image from preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> Starting build: 3.6.9-1-ARCH

  -> Running build hook: [modconf]
  -> Running build hook: [block]
  -> Running build hook: [filesystems]
  -> Running build hook: [fsck]
==> ERROR: file not found: `fsck.btrfs'
==> WARNING: No fsck helpers found. fsck will not be run on boot.
  -> Running build hook: [usbinput]
  -> Running build hook: [encrypt]
  -> Running build hook: [btrfs_advanced]
  -> Running build hook: [vbox]

I tried to make the symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/btrfsck /sbin/fsck.btrfs
but the problem remains.

The wiki says:
"Fully functional fsck.btrfs is not released yet, and ArchLinux works with its limited version in wrong way."

Re: [SOLVED] mkinitcpio: btrfs and fsck conflict

I tried to insert btrfsck into HOOK array. It doesn't work:

==> Building image from preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> Starting build: 3.6.9-1-ARCH
  -> Running build hook: [base]
  -> Running build hook: [udev]
  -> Running build hook: [keymap]
  -> Running build hook: [autodetect]
  -> Running build hook: [modconf]
  -> Running build hook: [block]
  -> Running build hook: [filesystems]
==> ERROR: Hook 'btrfsck' cannot be found
  -> Running build hook: [usbinput]
  -> Running build hook: [encrypt]
  -> Running build hook: [btrfs_advanced]
  -> Running build hook: [vbox]

I have root and /home on btrfs, therefore I can't get rid of this message, right?
The best way is to exclude fsck from HOOK array as I understand, right?

Add btrfsck to BINARY line.

Re: [SOLVED] mkinitcpio: btrfs and fsck conflict

Ok. Now is this:
BINARIES="btrfsck"
HOOKS="base udev keymap autodetect modconf block filesystems usbinput encrypt btrfs vbox"
Is this right variant?

I think it is.
