Context: I updated my CachyOS (Arch) BTRFS system. Some new things caused few problems especially brave browser(missing tabs), some icons missing.
So I wanted to go back to previous snapshot.
What I did: I first restored my home subvol which I saved before update. I worked.
Then I tried to restored my root partition. This is where I got the problem.
I got this error.
I would really appreciate URGENT help
If you need any more details I can provide.
EDIT
- I used BTRFS Assistant to restore the root partition. And I did it while the OS is running.
( I previously did that and got no issues )
- I pressed
crtl+d
and got ๐๐ฝ
- I typed my password and went into maintenance. Typed
journalctl -xb
and got 2667 lines ๐ตโ๐ซ. While scrolling mindlessly, this looked like something ๐๐ฝ

Put in your root pw and then look at the logs. You might need to mount disks to do so.
This. Enter your su password and have a look at the logs. Likely something you can fix without tooucj trouble. I've run into this a few times over the years and I've always been able to figure out and fix the problem based on the logs.
Edit: removed incorrect instruction.
