Recently I was having problems with a TW update causing errors that prevented me from getting to the login page (I had to do a snapshot rollback). A Linux support person eventually found out the source of the problem was my Ventoy USB drive was in the fstab file as a mount point. He removed that line from fstab and the problem went away.
We both have no idea how that line appeared in the fstab file. Any ideas what could cause my Ventoy USB drive to be placed as a line in fstab?
I use my Ventoy drive about twice a week to run Clonezilla.
Can the OpenSuse Rescue USB (ORU) hold Clonezilla? Can I use the ORU to boot into Clonezilla and do images and clones? Or does Clonezilla need to be on a totally separate USB drive?
OK, you all have convinced me, I’ll stop using Ventoy. I’m happy to do that if there’s a chance that Ventoy will mess up my system.
I’m guessing there’s no safe alternative to Ventoy that can hold and boot multiple ISO files? I did a quick search and didn’t find any real alternatives to Ventoy.
If that’s true, that’s fine. I’m happy to use multiple USB drives to hold my various bootable ISOs. USB drives are pretty small anyway.
@invalid_user_name I just have a stack of 16GB and 32GB devices, I also have enclosures for NVMe and SSD M.2 devices, especially good for images (appliances) to plug into bare-metal…
Yeah, it takes time. The setup of the usb stick is easy but the challenging part is to create the right grub.cfg entries. I made one today with foxclone, rescuezilla and image for linux. Foxclone and rescuezilla were easy, because for both you can use the ubuntu entry from the link I posted , ifl was difficult, but in the end I got it done.
When you follow the guide from the link, you will have to change from grub-install to grub2-install.
