Unable to boot a restored backup when using Jessie about raspibackup HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,
i have the same problem i think, i made a backup (rsync) of rootfs which is on external hdd and tried to restore on a single SD card. i checked my fstab (of restored SD card) which is

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 /dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1

and changed back my cmdline.txt to have root located again on mmcblk0p2 instead of /dev/sdaX

wc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait
but no success.
message from console also gives an error and error codes code 23 and 95

Hi tnmils,
please note: You have to update the root path in two places:

1. /boot/cmdline.txt
2. /etc/fstab

Re your xattr issue: That's not related to this issue. It's a known issue with extended attributes and nfs. rsync cannot save the extendend attributes because nfs does not support extended attributes even the used filesystem is ext4 which supports extended attributes.

You have following options:

1. Remove the extended attributes from your system. Usually they are not that important.
2. Remove -X from DEFAULT_RSYNC_BACKUP_OPTIONS="-aHAXx" and don't save extended attributes
3. Save the backup on a direct attached USB disk with an ext4 partition
4. Use tar backup

Hope this helps :-)

Issue fixed. raspiBackup now has a postprocessing step which updates the PARTUUIDs. Fix will be available with next raspiBackup version. See https://www.linux-tips-and-tricks.de/en/versionhistory for details.
