[FAILED] Failed to mount /. snapshots - “bullseye”

#1

Hello All and thank you !

I have just done a Debian testing “bullseye” install. The image that was down loaded was Daily build: 2021-02-22 16:04 361M. The base install worked perfectly.
I did format the hard drive to: Btrfs on the install.

Then I installed the freedombox package:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install freedombox

Then I edited the interfaces file to:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Then a reboot and the boot stops with the message:

[FAILED] Failed to mount /. snapshots
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for local file System.
You are in emergency mode.

It will not move post the message. I have done two installs and same problem !

Hardware:

Laptop: LENOVO 0769ECG

Same again to day with:

2021-02-23
firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso

Update:
I log in at the: You are in emergency mode.
And # out the line for:

#UUID=eb9994cd-31cf-4c05-af9d-78554da15ee9      /.snapshots     btrfs   subvol=.snapshots       0 1

I can now get a full boot and get to freedombox setup page.

Hello all,

Below is a copy and paste from a grep snapper daemon.log

These logs are from a new install. The .iso was down loaded with jigdo-lite:

firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.jigdo	2021-02-24

I think the lines below are of intrest ?

snapper-boot.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Feb 24 13:09:17 freedombox systemd[1]: snapper-boot.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Feb 24 13:09:17 freedombox systemd[1]: Failed to start Take snapper snapshot of root on boot.
Feb 24 13:09:17 freedombox systemd[1]: snapper-cleanup.service: Succeeded.

This problem comes about after I installed freedombox.
