Description of problem:
When booting from installation media to rescue a system that won't boot anymore, the installer fails to find a Linux filesystem on the device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Fedora Rawhide 33 Silverblue. Fedora-Silverblue-ostree-x86_64-33-20200828.n.0.iso


How reproducible: Every time since failure began


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot system with installation media Fedora-Silverblue-ostree-x86_64-33-20200828.n.0.iso
2.Select Troubleshooting
3.Select Continue to rescue installed system

Actual results:
Fails to find any linux filesystems where there is one.

Expected results: Continue to rescue and mount the filesystem


Additional info:
I have attached the program.log, anaconda.log, and storage.log

Same problem with simple qemu-kvm. Automatic partition install of Fedora-Silverblue-ostree-x86_64-33-20200830.n.0.iso, followed by rescue boot (inst.rescue), and (1)continue at the menu.

I can't tell where it gets confused. This is correct:
INFO:program:Running... mount -t btrfs -o subvol=root,ro /dev/vda3 /mnt/sysimage

But I don't see evidence it's trying to properly assemble the ostree. In which case how did it even know to mount subvol=root, if it hasn't yet found the deeply buried fstab?

This is also a problem with an LVM+xfs installation, so it's not Btrfs specific. I think the rescue is generally not functional for rpm-ostree installs.

Might be related to bug 1268237.

Comment 8 Vendula Poncova 2020-09-10 10:48:41 UTC
The support for the rpm-ostree systems is not implemented.
