After upgrading to KDE 6 and experiencing too many bugs for it to be useable for me I went back to a snapshot I made right before upgrading.
Now I’ve spent half my Friday tracking down different systemctl errors and trying to fix corrupted conf files from live USB environments, physically unplugged all but my nvme boot drive.
Rn I’m in a situation where I’m getting
[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot. See ‘systemctl status boot.mount’ for details [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File System.
Then it’s asking to give root password or press control-D, which I’ve dealt with before but this time my keyboard just doesn’t work
I tried to just sort it myself reading the Arch Wiki before begging for help on forums but I’m kinda at my wits end, This is a pretty new Arch installed and the first time using btfs on my main drive, I last updated maybe 4 days ago before today. I’ve also successfully restored from timeshift snapshots on this install before without issues.
Any help where to go from here would be great, thanks in advance.
6.7 kernel on btrfs is a shitshow, could be that here too. (btrfs volume corruption)
I’ve gone back to using EXT4 for now
I only used BTFS for the first time on that install to try it out.
You were super unlucky then, had you installed Endeavor with the same settings, it could have crashed the exact same way.
The difference between Archinstall installed Arch & EndeavorOS is very minimal and overrated. In this case I think the fix would have been picking the LTS kernel until 6.8 is released.
Luckily I keep all my important files and backups on a separate drive so reinstalling an OS is only a “mild” annoyance for me.
I was only on Arch for abit over a week just to “prove I could” but honestly didn’t see a huge upgrade over Endeavour for my personal use.
