Can't boot into snapshots via rEFInd (self.archlinux)
 

What I want:

To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager.

Additional Info:

  1. So, apparently, to restore the BTRFS snapshot of a root subvolume, I shouldn't do it with the root partition being actively used.
  1. So, I need to boot into the desired snapshot from the boot manager itself.
  1. GRUB has grub-btrfs, which lets you boot into snapshot from OS selection screen itself.
  1. rEFInd has refind-btrfs, which should do the same as grub-btrfs. But it didn't in my case. I am not seeing any way to boot into a snapshot from rEFInd.
  1. I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper to manage snapshots.
  1. I am not seeing any way to restore the snapshot from live environment too.
  1. I am using CachyOS (Arch) with Plasma DE.
  1. I suspect the reason is my unusual /efi /boot partition layout. (attached below)
  1. I did my partition this way because, my initial EFI partition had less storage (as seen on image), so , I created another boot partition and mounted my pre-existing EFI partition to /boot/efi. I did this by referring a Youtube video (I know, I should've known better)
  1. I also encrypted my BTRFS / partition
  1. If you need any other info, please ask.

Second Heart cooldown time 35 Minutes? (self.cyberpunk2077)

EDIT: Can anybody ask around reddit? They keep banning me.

Second Heart should have 300 - 200 seconds ( 5 - 3.3 minutes ) timeout. But for me it is 35 MINUTES, does anybody know why?

Tier 4:

Tier 5++:

Additional Info:

One of the images contains cooldown for Self-Ice. That one is actually seconds and work as it intended.

How to restore root subvolume BTRFS snapshot? in c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world
[โ€“] gpstarman 1 points 1 week ago

But restoring home subvol worked just fine though.

Anyways I should look what's up with refind-btrfs. Probably just gonna switch to grub.

I use rEFInd. And installed refind-btrfs and it didn't do anything.

Also I use BTRFS assistant with snapper.

I'm using CachyOS (Arch) with BTRFS. And tried to restore snap of root subvolume and it didn't work ( see previous post ).

If I remember correctly, i successfully restored root subvolume before. Take it with a grain of salt.

Some people on my previos posts said that I shouldn't have tried restore root subvol while system is actively running through the subvol.

Now my question is,

How to restore a snap of root subvolume ?

Edit: I know how to restore a snapshot. Just need help with root subvol snapshot.

I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper. And rEFInd doens't have boot to snapshot option. (I installed and it didn't work )

I'm not seeing any options to select a particular subvolume for installation.

Also, my entire BTRFS partition is LUKS2 encrypted.

There is no lutris directory in .config. Some other person said it is available on ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db. I cannot confirm it right now, because I am on limited connection.

Also, I don't have separate home partition. But I do have a separate home BTRFS subvolume though.

Is it possible to install OS on particular subvolume while leaving others untouched? (Calamares installer - CachyOS)

Short Answer: No, kernels are not snapshot ted

Long Answer: It's bit weird in my case.

Boot, EFI, Root are three separate partitions in my case.

Root mounts to /

Boot mounts to /Boot

Efi mounts to /boot/efi

It is this way because when I initially partitioned the EFI, I gave very less storage. But linux kernels are bigger than that. So, either I have move the partition. Which I didn't prefer because It'll take a lot of time and it said possibility of data loss.

So, I simply created new partition.

By default, CachyOS only snapshot /@ and /@/home. Which didn't include /boot because it's a separate partition it's own and not even BTRFS.
