Accidently tried to delete the /home/eggs/.mnt dir and broke my install #370
Comments
Hi @ZanzyTHEbar When eggs produces abn ISO, the entire filesystem is mounted --bind under /home/eggs/.mnt/filesystem.squashfs, deleting ./mnt risks deleting the disk as well. Normally the system rejects, displays mounts and exits. To tell you more I would have to repeat the experiment on a VM. Holy backup! |
Hi @ZanzyTHEbar I tried to repeat your case: I ran the command: At this point I ran - in another terminal - the command: The first time I aborted immediately after the first errors appeared, the second time I waited for the process to finish. Both the first time and the second time, I successfully rebooted the system. Warning: if you want to repeat the experiment do it exclusively on a virtual machine where you do NOT have data: the experiment can corrupt the whole system. |
I believe you - but that's not what happened for me. I spent the better part of today getting a new image up to speed. |
Of course, I just tried to replicate it and, I really was waiting to break
the system.
I'm sorry for your problem.

I was making a new iso, used this tool many times before and was fine, and i hit complete on the terminal completion without thinking (was late) - and ended up breaking the symbolic links to pretty much everything eggs was managing. I have no idea how, but when i attempted to remove the
/home/eggs/.mnt
directory everything borked and now my pc won't post.Of course, i can boot from a backup - but i am wondering if there is a mechanism to fix this without having to reimage my machine. I have checked via a live cd - my disk is fine, partition is intact, and all of my files are present. It seems just hard links and symbolic links have been broken. Way too many to fix manually.
