Hello,
I recently installed Endeavour and I am loving it. This is also my first post. I found this article on the wiki, https://discovery.endeavouros.com/encrypted-installation/btrfs-with-timeshift-snapshots-on-the-grub-menu/2022/02/, and I have worked to get this configured and I have failed so far.
So here is where I currently stand. I edited /etc/systemd/system/grub-btrfs.path and changed the [PathModified] from /run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots to PathModified=/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift/snapshots
[Unit]
Description=Monitors for new timeshift snapshots
DefaultDependencies=no
Requires=run-timeshift-backup.mount
After=run-timeshift-backup.mount
BindsTo=run-timeshift-backup.mount
[Path]
PathModified=/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift/snapshots
[Install]
WantedBy=run-timeshift-backup.mount
I changed this PathModified as the timeshift-btrfs directory did not exist
[usr@arch-t470s backup]$ pwd
/run/timeshift/backup
[user@arch-t470s backup]$ ls
drwxr-xr-x - root 20 May 16:26 ď„• @
drwxr-xr-x - root 20 May 10:50 ď„• @cache
drwxr-xr-x - root 20 May 10:50 ď„• @home
drwxr-xr-x - root 23 May 16:56 ď„• @log
drwxr-xr-x - root 22 May 22:36 ď„• timeshift
I then reenable the service and it gives a warning that the grub-btrfs.path is added as a dependency to a non-existing unit.
[user@arch-t470s backup]$ sudo systemctl reenable grub-btrfs.path
Removed "/etc/systemd/system/run-timeshift-backup.mount.wants/grub-btrfs.path".
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/run-timeshift-backup.mount.wants/grub-btrfs.path → /etc/systemd/system/grub-btrfs.path.
Unit /etc/systemd/system/grub-btrfs.path is added as a dependency to a non-existent unit run-timeshift-backup.mount.
I try running grub-mkconfig anyways and it still does not find any of the snapshots.
[user@arch-t470s backup]$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Any ideas as to what I need to change in my configuration to get grub to read my snapshots?
