Booting usb as a loopback device
Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2017 2:14 am
I'm trying to copy the emergency iso all to my multiboot usb, and boot the iso as a loopback device. I just can't seem to find anything on setting GNU grub up with multiple files for the initrd. Usually, there's one compressed file.
Here's what my grub entry looks like.
I'm trying to boot to evaluate if r-studio can recover my data. I accidentally deleted my backup partition of my system, and need to recover the full folder structure along with symlinks. About 2 tb worth of data on an ext4 partition. Would this be likely to work in the first place?
Here's what my grub entry looks like.
Code: Select all
menuentry [loopback]$rstudio {
set isofile='/boot/iso/'$rstudio
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/kernel31 vga=normal
initrd #No initrd.xz or other format
}
