Khurram Wadee ✅<p>I managed to create an <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/encrypted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encrypted</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Filesystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Filesystem</span></a> on a <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/USBStick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USBStick</span></a>. The reason I wanted this is that I want to back up some directories, which contain secure information and also <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/NTFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NTFS</span></a>, the one that comes on most drives, doesn’t know how to handle <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/SymbolicLinks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SymbolicLinks</span></a> properly. I don’t need or want to share the stick with any non-Linux machines.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/LUKS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LUKS</span></a></p>
Khurram Wadee ✅<p>However, I still had to change some <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/SymbolicLinks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SymbolicLinks</span></a>, and it was quicker to delete them and re-link them with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/ln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ln</span></a>. Everything went OK until the link from /usr/lib64 to /lib64. As soon as I deleted, I couldn’t execute anything and I was left with a system which couldn’t even get to <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/BootUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BootUp</span></a>, let alone beyond it.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/ShaggyDogStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShaggyDogStory</span></a></p>
