</I>><i>
</I>><i> When I boot with the dracut initrd I don't get my / mounted.

</I>><i> dracut: Checking, if btrfs device complete
</I>><i>
</I>><i> and in the middle of this flood I get this:

</I>><i>
</I>><i> and in the end I get

</I>><i>
</I>><i> So, to me the problem is neither raid nor LVM but btrfs
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Any idea on how to solve this issue ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> In case it can be useful, here is the result of

</I>[...]
I just opened a bug against dracut for this btrfs issue:
<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3214">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3214</A>
I still got the problem with the new dracut and kernel.
