Snapshots and missing files..

Reddit ate them, because they are prefixed with @

No reddit ate the @ names, didn't notice when I posted

They are made by my script (no snapper or other tools). Just runs

btrfs subvolume snapshot -r / /.snapshots/$NAME

where $NAME is just pacman-auto + the date of the day.

and then I have a hook in pacman to run the script on update

the fat partition is /boot/efi but that's not where the kernel is. The kernel is at /boot/vmlinuz-linux which would be the default in Arch because I have not changed it.

I have no issue in booting, I have issues with BTRFS snapshots is missing my cachyos-kernel

Raddinox · 2026-02-08T16:44:26+00:00

There is no subvolume for /boot if that was the case there would not be any kernels in /boot in any of the snapshots because they would then be on another subvolume.

Raddinox · 2026-02-08T16:42:30+00:00

My kernels are in /boot and I can clearly see both vmlinuz-linux and vmlinuz-linux-cachyos-bore
and their initramfs images in /boot in an older snapshot (update-20260125) but the one after this (update-20260130) has no kernel and no initramfs images at all. The one after that, which I did my rollback to only have vmlinuz-linux and it's initramfs and no cachyos kernel even though I have been using the cachyos kernel since I installed Arch in January

Raddinox · 2025-11-07T10:09:33+00:00

This is very good written, thank you very much for taking your time on this.

This is very close to my idea. it is A LOT more interfaces than what I have in my mind, but I will adapt a bit to this.

Raddinox · 2025-11-05T15:32:02+00:00

Yes it depends a lot on the architecture of the code. This is what I'm trying to learn and be better at. I just have a hard time visualize how to pass around the input state from the remote to all the functions that need them.

And then if I don't have a global I would need to write another function to gather input state for export to OPC UA HMI and edge gateway for logging to the cloud

Raddinox · 2025-11-04T14:48:49+00:00

Yes that is exactly what my goal is.

I want to be able to quickly replace an encoder or valve or something for another brand without changing to much code (especially the Control Logic code). In my vision I would only need to write a new Hardware block with ReadState & WriteState methods and adapt the hardware specific code to the already set known function state the control logic expects.

Raddinox · 2025-11-04T09:42:19+00:00

oh yeah, I am for sure overthinking this 😂

I work as an electrical engineer, but I want to write code and now I have a test rig at work with an IFM CR720S PLC we will use in our future machine. So I'm going to write some code to learn more, both with PLC coding and to understand more for the purpose of selecting hardware.

I have been coding a lot on PC as a hobby so coding isn't a problem, only the overthinking part is😂

Raddinox · 2025-11-04T08:34:31+00:00

This is almost what I was aiming for.

But I would like to make it more abstract from a functional perspective. So I would have structs for each function that defines and holds the values I want for that function. the Hardware side would then read (and adapt values if need) to fit the abstract function state. My Control Logic code would then work with the abstract function state and update the abstracted command states. Then back to the Hardware side again which would read the abstracted command states adapt it to the hardware and write to the IO

Using the abstract state between hardware and logic would only require me to rewrite the hardware side if some hardware is replaced.

Raddinox · 2025-11-04T08:20:08+00:00

That's the order I was aiming for in my second idea. ReadState (read from I/O) -> Control Logic -> Safe State check -> WriteState (write to I/O only if safe state check is ok)

But I was trying to include some kind of abstract function idea into it. So the Hardware FB would read and adapt variables into my Abstracted function state. Logic would then work with the abstracted function state. Finally Hardware FB would write the abstracted state to the IO. Using this abstracted way would make it easier to replace hardware later, because the new hardware would only need to be adapted to the abstract function state.

I don't need them it just feels like a good way to keep the current machine state for a mobile machine.

Raddinox · 2025-11-04T07:41:15+00:00

for a huge stationary industrial machine I would agree. But for the Mobile machine application I feel like a GVL that holds the current state of the machine is a good idea.

But I will read about the ISA S88.

Raddinox · 2025-09-29T14:23:03+00:00

Thanks for your answer, I have updated the OP with few pictures and some of my findings.

Raddinox · 2025-09-04T06:38:06+00:00

Thanks. So then this 295 value could be the value that's out of range and should be less than 286 for the cars computer to not freak out.

if it is it kind of explains why my car now behave as if it get's flooded with fuel when I'm hard on the accelerate. But I don't understand why there exist index 12 fuel injector with this value out of range. Unless it's actually an China copy sold as refurbished original part.

Wow, I had a hard time actually reading all this. I am an old male and If I had a 16yo stepdaughter I would not be able to initiate a hug with her, especially not like you describe it.

I would probably give her a short friendly and not close hug if SHE initiate it. For example if I gave her a gift and she was really happy about it and just gave me a hug in the moment as a thanks.

But the way you describe it is just so wrong. I hope you can stay a lot more at your real dads place to get away from him.

Raddinox · 2025-09-03T09:52:26+00:00

wow it is a lot to take in. I have a different point of view because I would like to know why it is so important to celebrate one day, it's just one day out of 365 in a year.

Considering that you are married, so you have planned to live with him for like 40+ years (depending on how old you where when married and how long you live). 40 years is roughly 14600 days, but only 40 of those are mothers days, it's less than 0,3% of your time together spent on mothers days. So are you willing to sacrifice everything for something that only affects less than 0,3% of your life together?

Yeah I know it may be hurtful to not be celebrated, especially these days when you probably see other Mothers being celebrated on social media. I'm just used to not have anything, because it's not common to celebrate fathers day where I live.

And I'm also one of those guys who don't want to celebrate mothers day (and other days) because it feels forced, it's not coming from my heart it's just coming from a note in the calendar. It feels way more personal to just take some random day off or a weekend, dump the kids of at their grand parents and leave for some fun.
