| jrwren | oh man, i just convertted from grub boot to efi boot on the first try on my linux install from 15+yrs ago. | 13:01 |
|---|---|---|
| jrwren | having never messed with efi booting linux, ever. | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | How was the experience? | 13:09 |
| jrwren | well, terrible when it was storms midday yesterday which trashed my external USB drives which prompted the reboot and the reboot failed | 13:10 |
| jrwren | but the actual mounting of /efi and creating 2 text files and copying kernel and initrd in was no problem. | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | Oof | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | But cool nonetheless | 13:11 |
| jrwren | I'm just happy it went smoothly. far better than most grub recoveries I've ever done. | 13:12 |
| cmaloney | That sounds more pleasant than my experience with my hardware which usually requires boot repair | 13:12 |
| cmaloney | (that said, I've not tried efiboot) | 13:12 |
| jrwren | i followed this adn skipped the irrelevant parts (most of it) https://gist.github.com/OdinsPlasmaRifle/e16700b83624ff44316f87d9cdbb5c94 | 13:16 |
| jrwren | ugh... this filesystem to toasted. never seen ext4 crash so badly. it is on an LVM mirror too, so it isn't underlying HW fail, it is pure corruption. I'm rather upset. | 13:18 |
| jrwren | run fsck, repairs done, ls the root of the fs, more errors. repeat indefinitely. | 13:19 |
| waldo323_ | oh man thats rough :-\ | 13:24 |
| cmaloney | Ugh | 13:26 |
| cmaloney | Wonder if LVM went for a toss | 13:26 |
| cmaloney | Though I'd have no idea how to test that | 13:27 |
| jrwren | could be. | 13:28 |
| jrwren | I've got 10 other FS on that LVM VG and 1 had errors, but they recovered fine after a single fsck. | 13:28 |
| jrwren | hey! looks like i was wrong. it just took 3 fscks and now that busted up FS seems OK. | 13:29 |
| jrwren | definitely lost some data. | 13:30 |
| jrwren | weird, maybe not, just got another error. | 13:30 |
