Dear Maintainer, When using rescue mode with a root file system that is btrfs the option to launch a shell inside the root file system does not function. This is because when the Debian installer created the btrfs file system it setup a subvolume named rootfs and performed the install into it. When the file system is mounted in rescue mode it is not mounted using the subvolume so /target has a directory inside it named @rootfs and that directory is where the actual root file system is. In order to get a shell inside the root file system I use the following work around: 1) Launch a shell inside the rescue environment 2) execute chroot /target/@rootfs /bin/bash --login It's annoying but it works. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.12.21-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
