The system boots and runs, but grub doesn't understand it. My only answer is that grub-probe does not understand BTRFS. The question is what to do about this. I have three major systems committed to this filesystem. Can you not see how this is an emergency? How is re-reading the error supposed to help anything? Or was your intention to help?
