You don't need to edit grub.cfg -- when you boot, grub has an edit option, so you can do it at boot time without having to use a rescue disk. Regardless, the thing you need to edit is the line starting "linux", and will look something like this: linux /vmlinuz-3.11.0-rc2-dirty root=UUID=1b6ec419-211a-445e-b762-ae7da27b6e8a ro single rootflags=subvol=fs-root If there's a rootflags= option already (as above), add ",degraded" to the end. If there isn't, add "rootflags=degraded". Hugo. > >>HOWEVER - this won't allow a root filesystem to mount.
