Comment 1 Ed Reiss 2013-09-27 23:45:19 UTC

The same situation occurs on Tumbleweed. The issue appears to be that /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-btrfs.rules is no longer included in the btrfsprogs because it is included in udev. 

See

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-09/msg00623.html and

http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/alternative-distributions-based-opensuse/tumbleweed/490727-errors-when-upgrading-kernel-3.html#post2588010

I was unable to locate 80-btrfs.rules in the newer Factory package for udev.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

mkinitrd fails unless package btrfsprogs is removed. This also removes several other file system utilities, including gparted. Copying the old 80-btrfs.rules to the correct location also works and is less radical.

Comment 2 Ed Reiss 2013-09-28 00:49:39 UTC

It appears the issue is with /lib/mkinitrd/setup/11-btrfs.sh.

The contents of the file are:

#!/bin/bash
#
#%stage: filesystem

mkdir -p $tmp_mnt/etc/udev/rules.d
cp /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-btrfs.rules $tmp_mnt/etc/udev/rules.d

But udev contains the file 64-btrfs.rules. So the script should be changed accordingly.

64-btrfs.rules is present on my system.

Thanks to wolfi323 on the Tumbleweed forum!
