I use ext4, but the fix was just installing linux-headers. I simply was of the impression that I had already installed those. Most likely I had installed them on one of my laptops and simply just had that vivid memory still in my head. Once I installed them the problem solved itself after a reboot.
Did you not see the news item you get before it allows you to start the update?
I was working on a little Intel NUC on the side that had memory issues. And during that I just
sudo pacman -Syuwithout thinking.I did also read the announcement before upgrading which makes it even better IMO.
Fair enough, I feel your pain. Hope that you had btrfs rollbacks available to you.
