  • Would also help to know if you are getting any error messages at boot time.

    The UEFI partition no longer gets listed, I am not able to even try to boot :(

    You might be able to correct this without re-copying everything by using rsync.

    I would rsync targeting the files I have copied without trying to move them, right? (sorry if my question is too stupid)


  • Well, I am embarassed… so I was going to move files from the current directory in a another drive, and did mv /* /run/media/another/direcotry/

    Then I tried to move everything back but it wouldn’t allow me because my user no longer existed.

    Then I booted from live usb, no errors when I mount the btfrs volume, I used the root user to move everything back but it was throwing an error because there were sub-directories. Then I did cp -r to copy everything back and deleted everything, keeping only the recent copies to their rightful location. Still I cannot boot though.
