You should open a bugzilla against dnf to document your experiences and allow the potential to get this fixed for the future. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ > Wow, I don't even know where to start.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to help you, but there are some experts on the list, so maybe they'll be able to help you recover. It is because of potential experiences like yours that I always do my upgrades to new versions while leaving my old version intact. You could just create the new partitions, and rsync your old version to the new partitions before doing the upgrade. Then, if disaster strikes, you have a fallback position of a working system. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
