Well you didn’t show the obvious, what IS under /mnt? What IS behind door #2 (reference to american game show)?
Why don’t you just do a ls /mnt and see if it looks like Linux /?
If it does, then keep exploring, what’s under /mnt/etc?
It seems obvious there is not fstab…but look for it, just in case.
Hi, well I used the command sudo cat /mnt/etc/fstab per the Wiki and I get “no such file or directory”. I guess I thought that means I didn’t do something right.
So I ran ls-1 /mnt
[liveuser@eos-2025.03.19 ~]$ ls -1 /mnt
arch
boot
EFI
loader
shellx64.efi
This is probably completely over my head. I really don’t understand what is going on here with chroot. Do I need to mount another file? I am reading about chroot, but I just don’t understand the file table and what I need to mount.
That’s the boot disks EFI partition, so unless that’s what you were going for, you got the wrong one ;0 I should have caught that from the first post, but I just got up (and never as sharp when still sleepy).
nvme0n1p2 is your linux root partition (I would guess, really you should know your own system better than I would?).
Well, I have had such a stable experience with EOS, I never had to lean the file system. This is my first Linux distro and have been on for several years. I have fixed a few things along the line, but this one seems pretty serious.
I have tried to mount the nvme0n1p2
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p21 /mnt
mount: /mnt: fsconfig system call failed: /dev/nvme0n1p21: Can’t lookup blockdev.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
