My boot partition is mounted at boot. I ran the sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg command, then rebooted to a liveUSB tried clearing the boot folder by renaming it to /boot2 and creating an empty /boot folder, but when I rebooted, I ended up with a grub rescue prompt.
Another thing that confirms grub is ignoring the separate /boot partition is that before trying to empty the boot folder in the root partition through a liveUSB, I tried bind mounting the root partition with sudo mount --bind / /mnt/temp and do the renaming operation from there, but got an error that the folder is in use.
- Is my fstab line correct?
- Does the fact that I’m mounting a partition to a non-empty folder cause issues with booting?
- If all else fails, is there a simple way to reinstall Fedora and then restore all my packages and configuration, etc.
