I accidentally managed to fill up the live-rw overlay and now my system won't boot. It falls to the dracut emergency shell complaining that it cannot mount the root partition. Logs say: EXT-4-fs (dm-0): unable to read superblock SQUASHFS error: squashfs read data failed to read block 0x0 unable to read squashfs_super_block Can't mount root file system I've been trying to fix this following instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image#Merge_overlay_into_new_image The key step is: # echo $'\x01' | dd of=/path/to/overlay-file bs=1 count=1 seek=4 conv=notrunc But I'm stuck because I'm not sure what /path/to/overlay-file is for me. Neither of the mentioned files seem present, at least in the dracut emergency shell. # dmsetup status does show "live-rw: 0 8388608 snapshot Invalid" Is this the right way to fix this? Where do I find the right overlay file to flip the Invalid bit at? Would love to get any advice on this. Right now I'm stuck with a non-booting system and no way to recover any data I had on it. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
