Root Partition Mount Error

B1ack-D3ath · 22 July 2024 06:30

Hello everyone. I switched to garuda for about 1 month. I was using ubuntu before. My Linux knowledge is at an average level. The problem is exactly this. I use garuda alongside windows. When I started running out of memory for Garuda, I wanted to minimize a part of Windows and add it to Garuda. I used live usb garuda for this process. I first reduced the windows space with KDE Partition manager, then allocated the free space to Garuda. When my computer was restarting, it directed me to the (grub rescue) terminal screen. After connecting the partition with Garuda using the commands (set boot and set prefix), I was able to switch to the normal grub screen. The first thing I did after switching was to repair grub with Garuda Boot Repair. I realized the real problem after that. System, btrfs, package manager, everything is working, but I guess the disk connection is not formed properly. I cannot get any information about memory space at any point in the system. Neither the memory space nor the usable space is visible in the system monitor and dolphin.

Information about my system:

Disk information:
There are 2 physical disks in my computer. The first of these is my sda(hdd) disk where I keep my files and documents. It has a single partition and there is no information about the operating system. My second disk sdb(ssd) has 5 partitions:

sdb1 Boot
sdb2 Windows recovery part
sdb3 Windows operation system
sdb4 Garuda operation system
sdb5 Windows update temp directon

Make sure your fstab has the correct UUID(s).
Use btrfs utilities to expand the available space to the new one.
Generally, prefer GParted for disk modifications. See how sdb4 is reported from fdisk, for example.

B1ack-D3ath · 23 July 2024 17:26

Thank you for trying to help, but I don’t quite understand what you mean. I would be very happy if you could explain the steps I need to do in a little more detail.

petsam · 23 July 2024 18:19

I would appreciate it, if you had already searched about them, to try not becoming a help vampire.

When modifying a partition, it is usually assigned a different/new UUID. That new UUID must be updated in /etc/fstab (fstab is crucial file for the system to detect the corect partitions to use).

Here, you have not used UUID for connecting the proper partitions to the system. This makes it very probable that UUID(s) may have changed.

BTRFS requires special actions to take extra space, even if the partition is resized with disk utilities. Archwiki has relevant instructions for this, as well as the manual (man btrfs).

This is probably a bug in fdisk, kdepartitionmanager, or somewhere else.
Who knows?
That’s why we should prefer the most reliable tools for each task, which is GParted in this case.

I’m sorry you feel that way, I wasn’t trying to fake vampire help. I had already checked the fstab file. uuids were already done correctly. I used the sudo btrfs resize max / command when expanding the space. But thanks to you I realized that sdb4 is windows recovery area. I think this is the problem I need to fix. Thank you for your help. I’m leaving my fstab file below in case anyone else encounters this problem.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
