How to make and roll back to a snapshot

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://eclecticlight.co/2026/05/07/how-to-make-and-roll-back-to-a-snapshot/

The Dictionary on M1 Mac crashed twice. I ran Disk Utility and my data volume dev/rdisk3s1 was 'found to be corrupt and needs to be repaired'. The log says 'performing deferred repairs', 'it appears to be OK'. But when I run it again the same corrupt message reappears. 😔 In recovery mode, tried running fsck_apfs but can't do anything: 'failed to enable crypto I/O mode for container /dev/rdisk3s1: invalid argument'. Will try turning off fire fault. #Mac #AskFedi #troubleshooting #fsck #apfs

Hey fedizens :FediverseSymbol:

We had a bit of a mare yesterday, as wife's brand new laptop (an Acer Aspire A16-61M (NX.JP0EK.005)), which she got as a gift from family during recent sales, decided to suddenly crash in an awful manner after only a month of usage.

The laptop crashed in Windows (Win 11 Home, 25H2 with all AI tools removed) with an error message of some kind, rebooted, and then reported "no bootable device".

We spent a huge chunk of the day researching the issue, trying various supposed fixes, and failing miserably :Sighing_Face:

Our failure led to us having a neurospicy meltdown in the evening 😔 As such, we're asking for your advice on attempting to fix it ASAP for wife :PleadingFace:

Wife has raised a ticket with Acer in case they're able to help, but we're hoping folks here will suggest something other than wiping the drive and reinstalling an OS.

Things we tried included:

• Verifying that the SSD itself still showed in the UEFI/BIOS.
• Resetting the UEFI to default.
  • We cannot change to the boot mode to Legacy then back to UEFI, as some generic-advice-giving folks have suggested in Acer forums and elsewhere.
• Using Windows PE to access the command line tools, as well as variants based on it, like:
  • Aomei Partition Assistant's bootable media.
  • Hiren's BootCD PE x64 (v1.0.8).
• Using Windows 11 installation media (from their latest media creation tool) to access the troubleshooting repair tools.

The efforts thus far have only changed the error from not "no bootable device" to immediate blue screen messages showing a failure a load and presenting options (function key options like startup repair etc.) which all fail to work.

The main C: partition appears to be borked, and shows as unallocated.

We've tried to recover the partitions and the data, as well as clone the drive sector by sector, without success. As far as we know, Bitlocker hadn't been enabled, but one attempt to recover files under a tool within Hiren's BootCD PE asked for a pin when trying to recover files from the lost partition showing as unallocated space, so it may well be hindering any recovery efforts.

Due to life struggles, neither wife nor us had had the time to set up any backup services yet, and whilst most things are cloud saved and can be recovered, some files and all the custom settings and tools would be lost if we cannot recover the drive fully 😔

Apologies in advance if we advise we've tried something already, and please be kind and detailed with any comments or queries.

For context, we've 20+ years of troubleshooting Windows and hardware issues, but we're neither a programmer nor IT specialist of any kind, and have never had an IT-type job.

Any thoughtful ideas, suggestions, and recommendations will be most welcome 🩷

Update: After further troubleshooting, the issue appears to be that some crash broke the drive's partition table, and software couldn't recover all the partitions because BitLocker was enabled by default 🤦‍♀️ Fortunately wife was using her Microsoft account and the recovery key auto-synced to her account. Now just trying to find a bit of software other than DiskGenius (which is bleeping expensive) which can accept the BitLocker recovery key and rebuild the drive without having to back it up and restore it.

Further update: After a few days of working on this whenever we could around other things, and learning more about WindowsPE, WindowsRE, device encryption being enabled by default, bcdedit, manage-bcd, repair-bcd, bcdboot, various shite recovery tools that everybody claims are great but aren't at all, we finally ended up getting the device back into a semi-working state and told it to hold off on updates for the next 20 years. In the meantime, wife can use laptop again at least and we can fix the many other bugs again manually, via an in-place install, or properly backing up, nuking everything, and starting from scratch. On the plus side, we discovered that Rufus (the formatting tool) has options to download and customise Windows installations, including automatic disabling device encryption. Also had to play around a little with Linux Mint. We could get used to that, but we'd to find equivalents for WIndows mods and functions we're used to. Oh, and having to decrypt an encrypted unallocated (raw) partition, even where you have the recovery key, is one of the most cursed problems we've ever come across! Windows will allow you to assign a drive letter without formatting, but you can only decrypt it to elsewhere then: not in-place. Most recovery tools simply lack the simple ability to let you enter a recovery key or password and restore it in place.

A few years ago, I bought an Eltrinex V12Pro -recorder. I used it heavily for a few months, until one day, it stopped working. I tried brand new batteries, but it wouldn't turn on, and the computer wouldn't see it when I plugged it in. I bought another one, and eventually, the same thing happened. In both cases, the time stamps on the recordings started becoming inaccurate a few days before the recorders stopped working. I also had a similar thing happen with a Plextalk Pocket that I bought used prior to that. I notice that, with my Olympus DM-720 and DM-770, I have to set the time whenever I insert the batteries, and so far, both have lasted me a few years. So I suspect that it was some sort of cmos battery that failed in the other ones. Now, I bought a Milestone 112 Ace and absolutely love it. But mine has the clock built-in, and I'm worried that the same thing will happen again. Are my concerns justified? Also, this one has a non-removable battery. Is there any way to have it replaced once it starts to truly degrade? Note: I used the blind tag because all but the Olympus recorders are made for the blind.

Fedi, I'm at a total loss on how to sort this one out. I've got an Elgato wave: 3 that worked great for 18 months and one day after updates it stopped registering input.

Its odd, it shows up normally in ALSA and pipewire. Volume and mute status work in software and hardware and accurately update when one is changed.

It just won't let me talk into it 😥.

У меня нет звука, но я должен слышать: история одной регрессии ядра

Что делать, если после очередного обновления Linux на старом ноутбуке намертво отвалился звук, а в логах висит зловещее CORB reset timeout и 0xFFFF ? Переустановка аудио-серверов не поможет, параметры загрузчика GRUB система упорно игнорирует, а LTS-ядро больше не гарантирует стабильности. В этой статье разбираем, как спуститься в логи dmesg , понять, почему устройство «задыхается» на шине PCI, и заставить ядро заново проинициализировать аудиокарту «на горячую» с помощью sysfs и systemd.

Тихий убийца: Деградация производительности без явных ошибок

В этой статье мыпопробуем провести небольшое расследование, посвященное тому, как найти и обезвредить «тихого убийцу». В частности, мы на конкретных примерах разберём утечки памяти, фрагментацию дисков, проблему 95-го перцентиля и «зловещую тишину» в логах. А также, рассмотрим инструменты, которые не дадут производительности умереть незаметно.

Возможости современных моделей в разработке кода: кейс автоматического решения сложной проблемы

Кейс полностью автономного траблшутинга нетривиальной системной проблемы с неработоспособностью NVENC в Docker-контейнера на Jetson Orin NX с помощью Claude Opus 4.6, как пример выхода больших языковых моделей за пределы квалификации middle-grade инженера. Около 40 минут заняло расследование проблемы, по мотивам которого, я попросил сеть написать статью, которую и предлагаю вашему вниманию как пример того, на что я мог потратить целый день, а большинство middle-grade инженеров бы не справилось вообще. Весь траблшутинг и статья сделаны в полностью автоматическом режиме без участия человека.
