I have the same problem. I was about to create a new topic but since the topic is already open I am sharing it in the same thread.
Here is my Journalctl

the good question
is it Btrfs cache V1 or V2 ? ( to do list )
Same issue here. Did a fresh in of Manjaro 21.2pre1 KDE and the error is at startup and reboot "Failed to start : Remount Root and Kernel file systems".

remove
space_cache
and do a try

Do you think space_cache is deprecated?^^
replace space_cache in fstab with space_cacheV2

Either removing space_cache or setting it to space_cache=v2 in /etc/fstab, both work.

Don´t remove space_cache! read performance will degrade! since btrfs-progs 5.15 space_cache was replaced with “free-space-tree” (space_cacheV2)! On very large filesystems (many terabytes) and with certain workloads, the performance of the v1 space cache may degrade drastically. This is why the new v2 implementation was created. It uses a new B-tree called the [free space tree].
Starting with [btrfs-progs 5.15], the “free space tree” is the default for all newly created filesystems

So, please clarify a bit😅
- space_cacheV2
- space_cache=v2
- free-space-tree
Which one(s) should be used?
free space tree ist the technical term. space_cacheV2 ist the mount option for free space tree.

Tried it, but space_cacheV2 gives the "Failed to start : Remount Root and Kernel file systems" error, while if I use space_cache=v2, it is fine.

You are right - sorry my fault - space_cache=v2 is the correct mount option

Could you search the manpage of command line "# btrfs check --clear-space-cache v2 device-path ?. I’m tested with the same problem on a fresh install of manjaro kde 21.2pre1 and use to this command line to clear the systemctl failed . The file system must be umount to do the command line , so … boot with the live iso manjaro. Perhaps a bug.
If someone wrote this before me, I’m sorry: read the man page before you change anything or you know what you are doing.
There are two implementations of the free space cache.
The original one, referred to as v1, is the safe default.
Quote from Manpage/btrfs(5) - btrfs Wiki
I have space_cache on my system still active [current state stable branch kernel 5.15.2]
no remount fails etc.
Maybe this is only a problem on reinstalls and not on existing ones?
After last update btrfs-progs has new version 5.15, which set default space_cache to v2.
