As I was running low on space I tried to move my snap to another disk following the answer from Muhammad here: Move snap packages to another location/directory
It broke everything and I cant get it back... I tried running several times the steps to revert but nothing works. Please help me, I am new to Ubuntu and it feels like my system is broken...
This is what I ran initially:
#Stop auto-updating (will *not* crash snaps already open)
sudo systemctl mask snapd.service
sudo systemctl stop snapd.service
sudo systemctl disable snapd.service
#Copy the data
sudo rsync -avzP /var/lib/snapd/ /mnt/EC89002B88FFF246/Ubuntu/snap/snapd/
#Do backups
sudo mv /var/lib/snapd /var/lib/snapd.bak
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
#Change fstab (Change $USER with your name or change the path totally)
echo "/mnt/EC89002B88FFF246/Ubuntu/snap /var/lib/snapd none bind 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
#remount fstab Or reboot.
sudo mkdir /var/lib/snapd
sudo mount -a
if ls /var/lib/snapd/ | grep snaps
then
echo "Re-mounting snapd folder is done successfully. !!!!"
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/snapd.bak
else
echo "WARNING : Re-mounting snapd folder failed, please revert !!!!! "
echo "WARNING : Re-mounting snapd folder failed, please revert !!!!! "
echo "WARNING : Re-mounting snapd folder failed, please revert !!!!! "
echo "WARNING : Re-mounting snapd folder failed, please revert !!!!! "
echo "WARNING : Re-mounting snapd folder failed, please revert !!!!! "
# Trying to revert automatically
sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab
sudo mount -a
sudo umount /var/lib/snapd
sudo mv /var/lib/snapd.bak /var/lib/snapd
echo "Files located at ~/snap/snapd should be removed, but are kept for
recovery until you, manually reboot the system and make sure the service
is running correctly. Then you can manually remove the folder ~/snap/snapd
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, you should do that manually."
fi
#Restart auto-updating
sudo systemctl unmask snapd.service
sudo systemctl start snapd.service
sudo systemctl reenable snapd.service
I am not expert but it seems like it did not restore properly var/lib/snap: Disk Analyzer output
Please help me
