I am using btrfs (which seems integral to the question).

Upon recovering with timeshift and rebooting, I am encountering the following error

[Failed] Failed to mount /home.
[Depend] Dependancy failed for Local File Systems
You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit" to default mode.

Obviously, Control-D, rebooting and default mode etc. do not work. I tried timeshift --restore and I get the following error.

enter image description here

It says

"Found stale mount for device /dev/nvme0n1p2 at path /run/timeshfit/837/backup. \n Unmounted successfully. \n E: Failed to remove directory. \n Ret=256"

I think the problem is, that it can not mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 to /home. But I am not sure how to fix it.

Would really appreciate some help.

Cheers.

SOLUTION: upon entering the root (just type password in the emergency mode) I edited /etc/fstab. * There I removed the bits where it said "subvolid=xxx$. E.g from UUID=xxx-yyy-zzz /home btrfs rw,noatime,compress=zstd:3,ssd,space_cache,commit=120,subvolid=257,subvol=/@home 0 0 to UUID=xxx-yyy-zzz /home btrfs rw,noatime,compress=zstd:3,ssd,space_cache,commit=120,subvol=/@home 0 0 Save and reboot. Fixed

  • Technically, I had typed mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /home and then I used sudo vim /etc/fsbat. But it should be the same result, unless I am gravely mistaken.

USE ALL AT YOUR OWN RISK :) But it worked fro me.
