Hi all, I have double boot Win 8/Opensuse Leap 42.2.
Since my /root partition kept on going full I deleted some of old snapshots leaving last 4-5 of them. I used a command to force its delete, then I rebooted and appeared a black screen -never seen- of Grub2: minimal bash like line editing is supported.
I tried boot but then an error occurred: you need to load kernel first.
I know i deleted some files that I did not have to, now I have a bootable USB with Leap 42.2. Is there a way to fix this without losing data?
???
I tried rm -rf * but it said a thig like “use this command to override rott permissions” it was like --root-something.

Hi
I would say you deleted the incorrect snapshots rather than using the
built in tools and setting up the configuration for your system…
Leaving the last 4 or 5, sounds like you deleted 0 and 1, then not
sure if it’s recoverable…

Hi
You need to make sure the snapper config is tweaked in file /etc/snapper/configs/root, or on re-install disable snapper. I use only 2-3 in the config file. Now if the system is not running all the time, then the cron jobs may miss running, so this then becomes a manual task to run the cron jobs for snapper and btrfs-balance.
I don’t think that removing some files is the correct way of handling this. There are tools to manage snapshots. And those tools should know what to do.
Also, it is better to take notes about what you do. Else it will be a bit difficult for you and others to repair things. Just typing commands in the wild and then forgetting about them is not a good practice for a system manager.
You can damage your file system if use anything other then snapper commands to remove snapshots. Also note if you use rm to remove files as root triple check you are in the correct directory and the command is 100% correct. It is possible to erase ALL files on the system with that command if used incorrectly.
