╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ ✅ INTERNAL DRIVE RECOVERY COMPLETE ║ ║ ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Your internal NVMe drive has been fully configured and is ready to boot independently! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📋 WHAT WAS DONE: 1. ✅ Fixed /etc/crypttab to use internal-vg/home explicitly 2. ✅ Updated initramfs with new LUKS configuration 3. ✅ Reinstalled GRUB bootloader on internal NVMe 4. ✅ Created Ubuntu EFI boot entry (Boot0001) 5. ✅ Set boot order: Ubuntu FIRST in boot priority ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🚀 NEXT STEPS: STEP 1: REBOOT THE SYSTEM $ sudo reboot After reboot, the system will use the internal drive's home partition instead of the external one. STEP 2: VERIFY CONFIGURATION $ cd ~/Nextcloud/entwicklung/Werkzeuge/backup_to_external_m.2 $ ./verify_internal_config.sh All 7 checks should pass after reboot. STEP 3: TEST FULL INDEPENDENCE (Optional but Recommended) $ sudo shutdown -h now Then: - Physically disconnect the external USB M.2 drive - Power on the system - System should boot completely from internal NVMe - You should be able to log in and access all your data STEP 4: RECONNECT EXTERNAL & CREATE BACKUP After verifying internal drive works: - Reconnect external drive - Run the backup script: $ sudo ./lvm_block_backup.sh This will create a block-level clone of internal → external ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚠️ ABOUT THE "RESET SYSTEM" MESSAGE: The message you see BEFORE GRUB is from Lenovo BIOS, not GRUB. To clear it: • Press F1 during boot → Enter BIOS → Save & Exit (F10) OR • After 1-2 clean boots, it should disappear automatically This is just a BIOS notification - your system IS bootable! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📚 DOCUMENTATION: All changes are documented in: • INTERNAL_DRIVE_RECOVERY.md - Complete technical details • BOOT_FIX_SUMMARY.md - GRUB bootloader fixes • verify_internal_config.sh - Configuration verification ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🎯 CURRENT STATUS: ✅ Internal drive fully configured ✅ Boot order corrected (Ubuntu first) ✅ GRUB properly installed ⏳ PENDING: Reboot to activate home partition change ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 💾 BACKUP STRATEGY: Once verified, you'll have: INTERNAL NVMe (nvme0n1) = PRIMARY SYSTEM - Daily use - Main operating system - All your data EXTERNAL M.2 (sda) = BACKUP/EMERGENCY BOOT - Block-level clone of internal - Bootable rescue system - Emergency access if internal fails ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Ready to reboot? Run: sudo reboot ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
