Systemd fails to mount btrfs multidevice filesystems in stage 2
First, this only affects btrfs fs to be mounted by systemd, thus, stage 2.
As current nixos master, only one block device can be told to be waited for.
In a usual btrfs approach, when all the block devices are ready, "btrfs dev scan" has to be run with the btrfs module loaded, and it will settle down the multidevice information.
I tried to get nixos supporting multiple devices in fileSystems, and having "btrfs dev scan" run as a udev rule, but this doesn't work: https://github.com/viric/nixos/compare/master...systemd_btrfs
Currently, my mount point (mnt-hd.mount) fails to mount this way:
Loaded: loaded (/nix/store/jjq9jaaq3dgdafqvhmg8cmvcqa452z9c-unit/mnt-hd.mount)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since dc 2013-04-17 00:01:14 CEST; 25min ago
Where: /mnt/hd
What: /dev/mapper/seagate-lvol0

I'm using this config, with my branch:
fileSystems = ...
{ mountPoint = "/mnt/hd";
devices = [ "/dev/mapper/seagate-lvol0" "/dev/mapper/wdgreen-lvol0" ];
options = "noatime,autodefrag";
fsType = "btrfs";
}
As an additional comment, systemd udev seems to have some magic about btrfs that I don't understand: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-commits/2012-September/002503.html
From the first look it seems to me that the udev "magic" is connected to multi-device btrfs filesystems.
My btrfs /home partition mounts fine (it's in stage2, isn't it?), but I only have systemd-200 and it's one-device only.

Yes, to me too, but as something doesn't work for me, I'm a bit lost.
My btrfs /home partition mounts fine (it's in stage2, isn't it?), but I only have systemd-200.
I tried that in 199, 200 and 201, to no difference. Is your /home partition multi-device, and over LVM?
No, just regular one-device (I added this info straight after posting the previous comment, but you only read the e-mail).
