Any hints would be welcome.
It doesn't work for the 'root' volume because that contains multiple partitions. The / filesystem is on the 3rd. You could use kpartx to mount it, but mounting any VM or template filesystem in dom0 is insecure! The kernel can not be assumed to be robust against a potentially malicious filesystem. Better to attach your broken volume to a e.g. a trusted DisposableVM for recovery: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4687#issue-396119132 https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4687#issuecomment-753492903 Rusty -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEhLWbz8YrEp/hsG0ERp149HqvKt8FAmEtPwBfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDg0 QjU5QkNGQzYyQjEyOUZFMUIwNkQwNDQ2OUQ3OEY0N0FBRjJBREYACgkQRp149Hqv Kt9EWw//SgfIibkUYNZzoidjiQgg7SSu9+jAFWFL3iBJU40el2hn6kiZ8cl/CGGg RAz/3AIyw2dtb1uoFc9TafjoUXlzlfXhcMEIHylggwzTkD2cL3EglBnhVw5x9a54 CS24qWUee8BhP50inZOEV0vUYCjO34948AveOKhD9YoVlwL0DUdvpeX8AaxiZmyP L+pl9jwvbdHE2DqhTle/vqL81lVHe3eM8ZQ798cm9q5pPbVH/x4nvmYdswmYgDN6 eSSNNblZ0BezuV7yuPpRSEOxxbkyhQMEfLqopvVEeFD8Ittv8z7C+jutp00RSmyT aOTyjCTWMoBKnSSE/IOOJkA3D+i6xHsK/lkP6j0AegRNiTV8m9oLKc+n4i1HNgPp MJz357hBF5Z8MPdfpNbT+hhpMpr7cVh2g1S3X01kO9Taom4QY3Mk+v1d61DgfgqO jWZuP8qV+9P8o9ifY0XsSXbVdixivujwOJS6hiiUl98fM502uHz1kDqzvmqR5umd Prb/c6yLRlCcBluM/cYIdBKcY6OhBx1eI/cUW2mmr/csICpjgwygVHsvJ82ou5yW aKMn9M2LCrbRy9tjDcs+Yd1ckEm0L/VIhJRfCx1hm8+twIzhwHqg2MDY+mAqfBZz bnykRv6i7YhaQXZ7Fy2ieaCDphFHnYOrAsi6FyVfnwmHZzL4Qc8= =dUVg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
