So my Garuda Linux on sdb2 suddenly stopped booting. When I tried to boot that partion I was thrown into the rescue terminal and was shown the message " can’t find /efi".
I do have that directory, but it’s empty ( likely the issue).
I have multiple hard drives and one is a backup Garuda, so I have a Garuda Linux to use at least.
I did try repairing with grub, that didn’t work.
So any ideas on how I can get sdb2 working again?
(by the way, smart status shows that drive is fine)
