Having some issues with recovering system after crashed update.
I have decrypted the disk with cryptsetup open /dev/nvme0n1p2 descrypted --type luks Mounted both main disk partition and EFI partition to /mnt successfully
When i attempt to do sudo arch-chroot /mnt
I get chroot: failed to run /bin/bash : No such file or directory
I tried pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware
But it says I don't have enough space in disk
I'm a bit at the limit of my knowledge so any help is appreciated

let me see your lsblk output
also if possible. outside chroot. install and enable sshd while in the iso and ssh into your pc (even from windows) so you can manage and copy and paste term input output
what i am suspecting is you mounted somthing like your boot to mnt first then your root. you have to mount your root partition to /mnt first. then your boot/efi and home next.
or you mounted the wrong parts and assumed it was the other one. eg mounting your 100mb or so boot part, to just /mnt

I only have arch installed
I was updating arch as normal with pacman -Syu and it crashed mid update
This is me trying to update with chroot

let me see the output of lsblk and df -h

weird im not seeing your p2 in df -h
anyways no clue lol. just curious really. try redownloading and reflashing the iso? and before chroot pacman -S archlinux-keyring.

yea again i dont see your 476gb mount mounted in df -h so. that might be somthing?
root or / is only 256 mb.
and idk what to tell you about that. if the arch iso is out of date that might cause issues.

I unmounted everything from /mnt and only mounted the decrypted mapping
Now it shows up
But i still need to mount the EFI partition, right?

yea mount it next. but double check whats in /boot (/mnt/boot)
eg if boot is empty the mount your boot part to /boot. if its not the mount your boot part to /boot/efi
me i didnt create a seperate boot part in the normal sense. my boot directory is just apart of the root part. and whats in my boot part gets mounted in /boot/efi
upper hemlock
oh. unmount everything again. then run dmesg. mount just your root. run dmesg again.

what have you got p1 and p2 mounted to the same place?

Just following the wiki
cold viper
Just following the wiki
where does the wiki say to do that??
/mnt for root, /mnt/boot or /mnt/boot/EFI or /mnt/boot/efi for boot
upper hemlock
Just following the wiki
if you mounted both to the same thing obviously your not doing it right

Is it a different page you're using?

I already have arch installed. I was updating and it crashed mid update. I'm attempting to recover

if you mounted wrong like this and ran commands. you most certainly fucked it up more.
cold viper
this one also does not say to do that:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot

given pacstrap won't do anything it's fine
because "not enough space"
probably because p1 is mounted to /mnt
upper hemlock
o ok. i figured it may have overwritten the linux img.
cold viper
just umount /mnt, remount root to /mnt, mount p1 to /mnt/esp, and retry

also if your decrypt keys are stored in boot. your encryption does nothing.
unless you encrypt boot.
so i read from a comment of a encrypted installation guide
velvet rose
just umount /mnt, remount root to /mnt, mount p1 to /mnt/esp, and retry
By root, you mean nvme0n1p2? Or the decrypted /dev/mapper/decrypted
cold viper
By root, you mean nvme0n1p2? Or the decrypted /dev/mapper/decrypted
it'll be the decrypted one
obviously mounting your encrypted root won't do anything

Man i've been around this for 7 hours so idk anymore

take a walk?
velvet rose
just umount /mnt, remount root to /mnt, mount p1 to /mnt/esp, and retry
I dont have a /mnt/esp folder and my folder folder structure inside of mnt is weird. Do i just mkdir /mnt/esp?
cold viper
/mnt for root, /mnt/boot or /mnt/boot/EFI or /mnt/boot/efi for boot
one of these is what is meant by /mnt/esp
it's btrfs
so
you need a different mount command for your root anyway
btrfs subvols mean I believe -t subvol=@
velvet rose
Oh ok, do you mind typing the whole command so i dont mess up 🙏
