how to disable 'scanning btrfs filesystem' at system startup
After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04, I get a message "scanning for btrfs file systems" at starting-up. I don't have any BTRFS filesystem. It delays the booting for about 15 seconds.
I tried to :
- blacklist the brtfs module in
/etc/modprobe.d
- remove
btrfs-tools
- renamed the executable
/sbin/btrfsto p.e/sbin/btrfs.save
Now i get a blank screen for about 15 seconds until the splash screen appears.

Btrfs isn’t too much stable to be used as deafult file-system. Most Linux distributions, probable all, are still using ext4 as primary file-system. So, you can completely remove it from your computer. Try the given command:
sudo apt-get purge btrfs-tools
This command will remove btrfs-tools from your computer. You may need to wait some minutes to complete the process. Your initramfs should be updated automatically but if not happen, do it by this command:
sudo update-initramfs -ukall
Then make a grub update:
sudo update-grub
All is well. Now make a restart. Hope your Ubuntu will start successfully this time.

My system has a SSD and plenty of RAM so it has no swap. This causes the background-process which is looking for a swap-partition to run into the void.
