Restoring btrfs autosnap with ubuntu?
Hi,

is it possible to restore a btrfs-autosnap with my ubuntu pc?
After my last apt-get upgrade I'm unable to boot my xbian and now I want to restore the latest working snapshot. But without being able to boot I could only do this on my Ubuntu PC.

Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks

Are you able to reach the rescue console?

When I power up my RaspPi, the screen stays black and I cannot access via SSH.
So I guess the answer is no. Or is there a specific way to launch the rescue console?

If you can, reinstall XBian on another SD card and copy all /boot partition file over to the failing card. The rescue console should then work again.

I found someone with a similar problem.
What worked for him was: He removed the following line from the config.txt:
"initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000"

Same worked for me.. so everything is fine now.
