This is post installation

#

i want to create home and root subvolumes

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

oof yeah
should've made subvols at install
anyways create the /@ subvol
move everything but /home there
then create /@home move every part of home there

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

im on void linux

#

so had no option

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

of course you will need to enter a live environemnt

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

oblique copper of course you will need to enter a live environemnt

no problem

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

pastel oasis im on void linux

oh an installer?

the you likely already have subvols

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

oblique copper oh an installer? the you likely already have subvols

no

#

#

as you can see

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

see sudo btrfs subvol list /

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

ah

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 12:42 PM

#

okay do the steps i told you

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:42 PM

#

i want to create a subvolume for / and /home

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:42 PM

#

oblique copper okay do the steps i told you

which steps?

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 12:42 PM

#

pastel oasis i want to create a subvolume for / and /home

i also recommend putting flatpak into its own subvol if you wanna use it

package cache, logs and other things too

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:42 PM

#

oblique copper oof yeah should've made subvols at install anyways create the /@ subvol move eve...

@pastel oasis

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 12:43 PM

#

since snapshots will be per subvol

taking snapshots if you didn't make cache and logs to its own subvol will make the snapshot save logs and cache as well

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:43 PM

#

oblique copper oof yeah should've made subvols at install anyways create the /@ subvol move eve...

how do i move everything except home?

#

sudo btrfs subvol create /@

#

i have entered this

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:44 PM

#

ok now mount it, with mount -t btrfs -o subvol=path_to_subvolume /dev/deviceX /mnt (of course replace the path_to_subvolume and deviceX)

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:44 PM

#

im not on installation

#

this is post installation

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

thats fine

#

you can still mount it normally

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

ok

#

then?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

now you can just mv the directories under / to that subvolume, besides /home

#

to the mountpoint*

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

modest hamlet now you can just mv the directories under / to that subvolume, besides /home

how do i do that?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

mv /boot /mnt/boot etc.

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

but wont that brick my system while im moving stuff to it?

#

its still running

#

im not on a live usb

#

@modest hamlet

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

oh, well you should do it from a live usb

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

ok

#

lemme switch to my live usb

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

the path to the subvolume might be a little weird now, i think its gonna be /root/@ instead, but my system is like that and its working fine so it shouldnt be that big of a deal its just a bit annoying

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:49 PM

#

i want it to be just /@

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:49 PM

#

you can delete it and create it again then, this time from the live usb

#

just mount the drive and create it on the mountpoint

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:50 PM

#

wait

#

im gonna switch to my live iso

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:50 PM

#

modest hamlet just mount the drive and create it on the mountpoint

like btrfs create subvolume /mnt/@ (assuming you mount the drive on /mnt)

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:52 PM

#

uhh

#

how do we change the

#

keyboard layout

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:52 PM

#

oh let me check i dont rememebr

#

use loadkeys name-of-layout

#

if its available on the iso

#

idk what the void iso is like

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:53 PM

#

ty

#

now lemme mount that shit

#

where do i mount this again?

#

i entered the live iso

#

idk what to do

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:54 PM

#

you can mount it to /mnt

#

just do mount /dev/deviceX /mnt with the correct device

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:54 PM

#

ok

#

ibdid

#

i did

#

now what

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:55 PM

#

ok so now you can make the subvolume with btrfs create subvolume /mnt/@

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:55 PM

#

ok

#

now?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:56 PM

#

so now you can mount the subvolume with mount -t btrfs -o subvol=path_to_subvolume /dev/deviceX /mnt but since theres already something on /mnt you can create another directory to mount it in

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

modest hamlet so now you can mount the subvolume with `mount -t btrfs -o subvol=path_to_subvol...

you mean /mnt/@?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 12:58 PM

#

ye that's the path_to_subvolume

#

you can create a directory like /subvol just to mount it

#

so you replace /mnt in that command with that

#

like mount -t btrfs -o subvol=/mnt/@ /dev/deviceX /subvol for example

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:00 PM

#

bit blurry sorry

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:01 PM

#

hm

#

where did you try to mount it to?

#

i cant read that end of the command

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:02 PM

#

mount -o subvol=/mnt/@ /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:02 PM

#

well, you should mount it somewhere else other than /mnt since you already mounted the drive there, but its saying the file or directory doesnt exist so thats not why there was an error

#

could you do btrfs subvolume list /mnt?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:03 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_b568c9c2-9d66-4332-948f-65da4bdf2973.jpg

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:04 PM

#

oh wait i see the problem lol, i think you dont have to put the absolute path of the subvolume in the mount, just the relative path, so it should be mount -o subvol=/@ /dev/nvme0n1p3 /subvolume (notice how i removed the /mnt before /@)

#

(assuming you create a directory /subvolume to mount it in)

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:05 PM

#

whats an example command?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:05 PM

#

wha for what part?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:05 PM

#

mounting the subvol

#

oh

#

wait

#

ok sorry

#

wait wtf

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:06 PM

#

what

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:07 PM

#

i messed everything up

#

can u teach me step by step?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:07 PM

#

wdym what did you do wrong?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:07 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_eb6414f2-ec51-4332-86ab-f4319be7915a.jpg

#

this is my lsblk

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:08 PM

#

well that looks right, did you mount the wrong drive?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:08 PM

#

no

#

lets start from scratch

#

ok?

#

i mounted my disk to /mnt

#

and now what?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:09 PM

#

you create the subvolume with btrfs create subvolume /mnt/@
you already created it though, and it worked, it showed up when you did btrfs subvolume list ...

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:09 PM

#

yeah

#

and then?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:11 PM

#

you create a directory to mount the subvolume, for example, /subvolume:
mkdir /subvolume
and mount it:
mount -o subvol=/@ /dev/nvme0n1p3 /subvolume

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

im back

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_1159394c-8fad-4da1-9a6b-661b3ca1ffac.jpg

#

@modest hamlet

#

i created a directory called subvol

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:16 PM

#

did you do the mkdir /subvolfirst?

#

oh

#

huh, weird, can you show the output of ls

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_ad39fdec-4868-42b2-bbf2-7a46e508b938.jpg

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

oh maybe youre not in /

#

do pwd

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

you mean chroot?

#

pwd

#

wait

#

sorry

#

this is not the terminal lol

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

rachieloading

#

where is the /mnt directory?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_a55f4f1f-a435-4765-9be8-cc4362a69c63.jpg

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

oh yeah ok

#

do mv ./subvol ../subvol to move it to root

#

youre in root's home, i forgot it doesnt start at / lol

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

modest hamlet do `mv ./subvol ../subvol` to move it to root

after doing this you can try to mount again, it should work

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

it did work

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

alright

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

why did we do /@ instead of /mnt/@?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

so now you can move all the directories from /mnt to /subvol, besides root
mv /mnt/boot /subvol/boot etc.

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

pastel oasis why did we do /@ instead of /mnt/@?

because its relative to the mountpoint, so you dont need the /mnt

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

im not in /mnt tho

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

you asked about the mount command right?

#

you did mount -o subvol=/@ /dev/nvme0n1p3 /subvolume which is mounting the subvolume /@ that is in the device /dev/nvme0n1p3
inside the device, its in the base folder, not inside /mnt, thats just where you mounted the device
idk if that made sense

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

ohhhhh

#

ok

#

i also wanna make a subvol for home too

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

modest hamlet so now you can move all the directories from /mnt to /subvol, besides root `mv /...

after doing this you could do a ls -a /mnt to make sure theres nothing left besides /home in there

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

pastel oasis i also wanna make a subvol for home too

yeah you can do that after moving the stuff to the root subvolume

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

i cant move lib32

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

hmm, whats the error?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:29 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_2b1b1c5e-725a-4c71-ad65-7113ee04de66.jpg

#

i hate my camera

#

cannot overwrite directory /subvol/lib32 with non directory

#

@modest hamlet

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:29 PM

#

hmmm

#

oh, you have to do mv /mnt/lib32 /subvol/lib32

#

just missed the last lib32

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

ok

#

i did the same for every one of them tho

#

now theres boot, home and @ left

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

you dont need to move the @

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

do i create a subvol for @home?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

is there anything inside /home ?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

yes

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

hmm

#

ok yeah you should create the subvolume like you said

#

inside /mnt

#

so btrfs create subvolume /mnt/@home

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

and then whatm

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

theres no home inside /subvol if you do ls right?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

yeah

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

ok, so create an empty home directory there with mkdir /subvol/home

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

what about i just move it from mnt?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

you cant cuz youll have to mount the subvolume there

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

ah ok

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

you should move it after mounting the subvolume

#

but you need somewhere to mount it, so thats why i said to create an empty one first

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:37 PM

#

ok

#

done

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

so after creating the home you can mount the subvolume there with mount -o subvolume=/@home /dev/nvme0n1p3 /subvol/home

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_d068d65a-de86-484f-99e9-a465f507c16f.jpg

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

alright, now just move the contents of /mnt/home to /subvol/home

#

i imagine theres just your user folder in there so move that

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

my fans started speeding up

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

huh

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_b9845f0f-43a8-400b-8822-a002f21c6273.jpg

#

i hope i did it right

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

i think that will give the same error as before, you tried to move to /subvol/home but that already exists
sorry, i should have clarified isaac_sad

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

it ran

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

it finished without errors?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

i didnt move /mnt/home

#

i moved the contenta

#

contents

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

and ls /subvol/home gives what?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

it says my name

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

alright so that worked, i didnt know you could do it like that lol

#

so now just to check, whats the output of ls /mnt and ls /subvol ?

#

actually do ls -a for those sorry

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:43 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_30a3b4cc-cd60-4630-b883-cb250b72f630.jpg

#

everything is in my subvol

#

except boot

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:43 PM

#

oh yeah, you can move boot to subvol too

#

and do rmdir /mnt/home since that should be empty now

#

with rmdir theres no risk of accidentally deleting something lol

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:45 PM

#

ok

#

then

#

do i regenerate fstab?

#

i forgot how to do genfstab tho

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:47 PM

#

not yet, first do umount /subvol and umount /mnt

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

FUUUCK

#

genfstab doesnt exist

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

and then do mount -o subvolume=/@ /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt and afterwards mount -o subvolume=/@home /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt/home to mount them in the correct places

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

HELP ME GOOOD

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

pastel oasis genfstab doesnt exist

ah thats fine will just be a bit more manual lol

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:49 PM

#

modest hamlet and then do `mount -o subvolume=/@ /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt` and afterwards `mount -o...

alright tell me when you finish doing this (after unmounting)

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_58b0611c-86d7-48a4-91cc-e2cef7c37f16.jpg

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

maybe try the opposite order

#

im not usre which depends on which lol

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

i already umounted /mnt

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

oh actually first you have to umount /subvol/home

#

since theres something mounted there as well

#

then you can umount /subvol

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:51 PM

#

ok

#

i unmounted

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:51 PM

#

modest hamlet and then do `mount -o subvolume=/@ /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt` and afterwards `mount -o...

ok, so mount these now

#

actually wait

#

since you will have to write the fstab manually anyways you just need to mount the first one lol

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:52 PM

#

ok i did

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:52 PM

#

is there blkid in the iso?

#

like can you run that

#

blkid /dev/nvme0n1p3

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:53 PM

#

it says nothing

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:53 PM

#

ok

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:53 PM

#

oh wait

#

its because im on chroot

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:53 PM

#

well the old fstab should already have this info actually

#

just remembered lol

#

do cat /mnt/etc/fstab

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

there is already an fstab

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

yeah, cat it so i can see where it will have to be changed

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 1:56 PM

#

very epic

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:56 PM

#

ok, in the first line, after "defaults", add ,subvol=/@

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

and copy that line

#

and do the same for home right?

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

yup

#

should be just that

#

mine is way more complicated for some reason lol

#

ig genfstab does some weird stuff

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

modest hamlet mine is way more complicated for some reason lol

cause it was taken from mnttab :v

yeah just save and reboot

#

oblique copper cause it was taken from mnttab :v

see how i only mount with subvol=/,defaults as mount options,
the kernel handles the rest

pastel oasis

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

pastel oasis

oh yeah, regenerate grub config to make grub realize that /boot is actually at /@/boot

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

oblique copper see how i only mount with subvol=/,defaults as mount options, the kernel handles...

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:03 PM

oblique copper oh yeah, regenerate grub config to make grub realize that /boot is actually at /...

#

bootloaders are my mortal enemies

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:03 PM

#

#

fucckkkk

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

i usually put my bootloader in ESP so i can avoid problems

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

how do i regenerate grub conf

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

in your live session

#

chroot
then grub-mkconfig -o /path/to/grub/config

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

fuccckk

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

well i know you'll have to mount it again and chroot

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

i hope i can fix this today

#

i chrooted

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

oblique copper chroot then grub-mkconfig -o /path/to/grub/config

grub-mkconfig

#

and just to be safe, let's run grub-install again

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

oops

#

sorry

#

i found the cause i think

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=esp --bootloader-id=GRUB

subtitue esp to where you mount your EFI partition

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

im about to cry

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

setting up subvol for root post-install was a bad idea :v
it's quite more complicated and involved
lots of things to consider

I have done it successfully if that's any assurance

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

wait wtf

#

there is stuff in /boot even tho i havent mounted my boot partition

#

@modest hamlet

#

help please

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

huh

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

/boot isn't always a partition

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

yeah you heard me right

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

um

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

oh wait

#

i know

#

fuck im dumb

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:11 PM

pastel oasis ```NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL F...

your original lsblk makes it clear that /boot isn't a seperate partition

/boot/efi is

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

ok

#

it still throwing me the same errors

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

just run grub-install and grub-mkconfig as per my instruction

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

@modest hamlet

#

do you know?

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

this is the chroot right?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

yes

#

guys

#

im about to fucking cry right here

#

im so sad

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

compose yourself

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

sorry

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

can you lsblk outside of the chroot

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

im emotional

#

yes

#

:(((

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

i forgot how troublesome vanilla chroot is
does void have a chroot that integrates more with the host system?

#

like arch's arch-chroot

chroot doesn't share stuff like block device list by default

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

i dont even know man

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

well, let me see lsblk when you're outside chroot

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

oh

#

there is a chroot for void linux

#

YOOOOO

#

its working

#

i updated grub

#

lemme reboot

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

wait

#

did you mount /mnt/boot/efi before chrooting?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

yes

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

okay good

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

it gave me the same error while booting

#

lemme try the thing u said

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

you haven't? damn

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

you did grub-install and then grub-mkconf?

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

this is an emotional rollercoaster

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

oh

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

#

#

ok lets try

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

run sudo btrfs subvol list /

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

can you show me your fstab please?

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

i need to verify this
and my fstab won't help

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

there is @ and @home

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

oblique copper i need to verify this and my fstab won't help

just show it to me

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

📎 fstab

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

maybe adding the subvolid would help, i remember having just the subvol being a bit weird sometimes

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

oblique copper

send me an ss

#

@oblique copper

#

im on my phone

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

there is nothing called defaults there

#

@modest hamlet

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

defaults is valid

#

defaults let's kernel handle things

what you see in mine are defaults when i generated the fstab

#

okay now calm down
assess the environment

#

give me findmnt

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

YOOOO

#

when i deleted defaults

#

it fixed itself

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

oh the problem is there was no comma

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

ty guys

#

omggg

#

wait

#

really?

#

im gonna try with a comma then

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

it should be defaults,subvol=

oblique copper Nov 15, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

yeah
different mount options are seperated by commas

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

thats why deleting defaults fixed it

pastel oasis Nov 15, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

letss goooo

modest hamlet Nov 15, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

niceee

#
