lsblk: root partition mounted on / and /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell?

  • 772

I rebooted ubuntu 22.04 today and it could not find the root drive and I kept being dropped to a root shell. Correlation does not prove causality, but I find it very odd that nvme0n1p5 is mounted at both / (correct) and /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell (incorrect). Not sure if this is a mount/fstab thing or a snap thing or what...

$ lsblk 
│                                     
├─nvme0n1p4 259:4    0     1G  0 part 
├─nvme0n1p5 259:5    0  29.3G  0 part /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell
│                                     /
├─nvme0n1p6 259:6    0   8.2G  0 part [SWAP]

I changed fstab to use the PARTUUID instead of the UUID and it finally booted, but I would like to address this issue.

  1. As indicated over at the snapcraft forum, this mount is set up to allow Firefox Snap to use the spell check dictionaries (hunspell) of the main system. A discussion about this commit is available here.
