I resized (shrank) my root partition (only partition except swap) by about 100GB of my main drive which was not even half full. I did this using a live USB and gnome disks and it seemed the resize was successful. fsck came back clean and I was able to mount the partition on the live USB and test play some video files. After rebooting grub came up like normal, but after selecting the OS systemd did not appear and it seems the init process failed:
I thought maybe it had something to do with my swap partition because I use hibernate and I set my swap as the resume device. So I removed my swap partition from /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and the /etc/fstab files. I also added 'noresume' to the boot options in /boot/grub/grub.cfg:
Code:
linux/boot/vmlinuz-6.6.15-custom root=UUID=e27cfff9-2347-418e-ac88-dcf73b2a84e1 ro intel_iommu=on iommu=pt quiet noresume
I made sure the UUID outputted by blkid matches in both /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg On reboot I get the same error from initramfs but it skips checking for the resume/suspend device as expected. Steps I have taken so far to try to fix while as chroot on the root partition:
1. update/reinstall grub
2. update-initramfs -u/-c
/etc/fstab (no swap):
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.## Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).## systemd generates mount units based on this file, see systemd.mount(5).# Please run 'systemctl daemon-reload' after making changes here.## <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass># / was on /dev/sdb1 during installationUUID=e27cfff9-2347-418e-ac88-dcf73b2a84e1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1# swap 17G just in case
blkid (sda1 is the root partition):

I know resizing your root partition is considered risky but if anybody could help that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
