Meanwhile, I booted in PartedMagic again (My Hero !), mounted the FS,
chrooted into it, mounted everything under it, then I rebuilt the
initramfs, unmounted and restarted "the usual way".

Then the HD LED stayed LIT for at least 5 full minutes, and in the end
it would boot properly.

I don't know what exactly happened, but it seems that regenerating the
initramfs from within the live CD somehow helped BTRFS to fix itself ?

Happily enough for me, for that's my wife's system, and you know bad
things can happen when wife is unhappy :-\

(She's actually already badly unhappy about performance, leaves the
machine "suspended" all the time for she can't stand the time it takes
to boot, but if I tell her that her Linux FS died, I'm afraid she's back
to WinXP in minutes :-/ which is worse than death...)

Thanks for your help :-)


FYI parts of this machine's fstab and mountinfo in case it might help...
