Context: I updated my CachyOS (Arch) BTRFS system. Some new things caused few problems especially brave browser(missing tabs), some icons missing.

So I wanted to go back to previous snapshot.

What I did: I first restored my home subvol which I saved before update. I worked.

Then I tried to restored my root partition. This is where I got the problem.

I got this error.

I would really appreciate URGENT help

If you need any more details I can provide.

Short Answer: No, kernels are not snapshot ted

Long Answer: It's bit weird in my case.

Boot, EFI, Root are three separate partitions in my case.

Root mounts to /

Boot mounts to /Boot

Efi mounts to /boot/efi

It is this way because when I initially partitioned the EFI, I gave very less storage. But linux kernels are bigger than that. So, either I have move the partition. Which I didn't prefer because It'll take a lot of time and it said possibility of data loss.

So, I simply created new partition.

By default, CachyOS only snapshot /@ and /@/home. Which didn't include /boot because it's a separate partition it's own and not even BTRFS.
