Update: It seems that the squash image is properly attached to a loop device, as well the RW part. From the rdsosreport.txt: /sbin/rdsosreport@14(): blkid /dev/sdb1: UUID="81689ddf-98ab-4314-b420-ce78d505f919" TYPE="ext2" /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop1: TYPE="DM_snapshot_cow" ... /dev/mapper/live-rw: TYPE="DM_snapshot_cow" Trying to mount /dev/mapper/live-rw from the emergency shell gives the same error. #> modprobe dm_snapshot #> mkdir /mnt #> mount /dev/mapper/live-rw /mnt mount: unknown filesystem type 'DM_snapshot_cow' #> mount -v -t dm_snapshot /dev/mapper/live-rw /mnt mount: unknown filesystem type 'dm_snapshot' #>mount /dev/loop0 /mnt #> ls /mnt bin etc ... Seems to be a filesystem / kernel config option, still. Attached full rdsosreport.txt and liveroot output, generated after adding rd.debug and rd.live.debug to the command line. Devices and LVM's prefixed with an asterisk are on the internal drive of the PC and are not used in this context.
