Also

Thanks for the Kind words! much helpful!

My system (with btrfs on / and luks crypted /home) got the same error messages on boot. Hopefully, i can boot it and log in despite the error messages.

Hello, whenever I start up the system stuck on this message about 10-30 seconds and also when I shut down the pc as well.

I started to have this issue since the newer update, I try reinstalling os didnt help I went into systemd, try to start the systemd-remount-fs.service… didnt work either.

I could use any help, thanks in advance

Why don’t you have an ESP? Are you booting in BIOS mode?

Yeah, I use BIOS mode

Your issues start there.

You have an error in the filesystem - I don’t know what, where or why - I don’t trust btrfs.

I thought btrfs faster, I have been using for last few weeks, there were no issue… what would you recommend? at this strange I would try anything, i been hit with system panic!.. I tried the TTY T/S didnt help either…

I ran scared and screaming away after a rendevouz with btrfs 5 years ago so my advice may not be the best. I haven’t felt comfortable with btrfs since.

I have played with it using test equipment - nothing serious though. I use ext4 and f2fs.

I don’t think you can get hurt by booting a live iso then from a terminal run

fsck /dev/nvme0n1p1

Ill give that a go

I had the same problem (ssd sata) with the message “BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p1): cannot disable free space tree” . Could you try this command line ?. : # btrfs check --clear-space-cache v2 /dev/sda2 . You must change the device path (your device nvme) AND use to a live iso manjaro (file system must be umount). In my problem, it was a new install of manjaro kde 21.2pre1 .
MANpage btrfs check --clear-space-cache : completely wipe all free space cache of given typeFor free space cache v1, the clear_cache kernel mount option only rebuilds the free space cache for block groups that aremodified while the filesystem is mounted with that option. Thus, using this option with v1 makes it possible to actually clearthe entire free space cache.For free space cache v2, the clear_cache kernel mount option destroys the entire free space cache. This option, with v2 providesan alternative method of clearing the free space cache that doesn’t require mounting the filesystem
