What do you get when you run the "lsblk" command? It looks to me as though: /dev/sda3 => / /dev/sda2 => /boot The lsblk command should help a lot if the device-mapper is involved (e.g. if you used LVM). What's the history here? Is this an old box that you set up with Arch as a hobby project and now you just got back to it? Why was there such a long wait before an update? Do you remember the choices you made when you set it up (e.g. partitions etc...)? Paul
