Checking Filesystem: Could not open -a

Hi,

I just noticed a problem during the filesystem check at boot time, a message like the following floats by (are the initscript messages logged somewhere?):

::Checking Filesystems
Could not open -a
/dev/sda2: clean ....
Could not open -a

Then the boot continues. I tracked it down to the fsck in /etc/rc.sysinit, line 263.

The scenery is:
kernel26 2.6.34-2
initscripts 2010.06-2
/dev/sda2 is my /boot partition
my root partition is on /dev/sda4 and is a btrfs one
/home is a subvol of the btrfs partition but of course has its own entry in /etc/fstab
I do have another partition using LVM, but that is currently not used (and not in fstab)

Has anybody else seen this?
Could the btrfs stuff be a problem?

I have that too. Also using btrfs but stock kernel.

I recently went back to ext3 (dropping all btrfs partitions) for various reasons, which also solved this problem.
