lsblk
is just lacking a lot of information and creating a false impression of what is happening. I did a bind mount to try it out.This mounts
/var/log
to/mnt
without making any other changes. My root partition is still mounted at/
and fully functional. However, all thatlsblk
shows under MOUNTPOINTS is/mnt
. There is no indication that it's just/var/log
that is mounted and not the entire root partition. There is also no mention at all of/
.findmnt
shows this correctly. Omitting all irrelevant info, I get:Here you can see that the same device is used for both mountpoints and that it's just
/var/log
that is mounted at/mnt
.Snap is probably doing something similar. It is mounting a specific directory into the directory of the firefox snap. It is not using your entire root partition and it's not doing something that would break the
/
mountpoint. This by itself should cause no issues at all. You can see in the issue you linked as well that the fix to their boot issue was something completely irrelevant.
