Hi, when trying to carry out your instructions, I noticed that /lib on
Arch Linux is a symlink pointing to /usr/lib
I wonder whether that might be part of the problem.
But grub-mount still causes 100% CPU load when trying to ls
/mnt/sda9/usr/lib*/ld*.so*, so I'll try the rest of your instructions
anyway.
Cheers,
Johannes

I get as far as this

So, as soon as I run the ls command, the grub-mount process shoots
up to 99% CPU load and stays there until I kill it with SIGKILL
Great, that's very useful. I'd now like the output of "ls -al
/mnt/sda9/lib*/", where the filesystem has been mounted using the
ordinary mount utility rather than grub-mount. Also, if you have the
spare disk space, I'd like you to try the following, where /path/to/file
is a new file on some filesystem with enough free space:
1) work out how much space in MiB is consumed by the lib* directories
at the top level of the filesystem on /dev/sda9, add a bit for good
measure, and call that $size_in_mib
2) dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file bs=1048576 count=$size_in_mib
3) mount -o loop /path/to/file /mnt
4) copy the top-level lib* directories from the filesystem on /dev/sda9
to /mnt - make sure to use 'cp -a' to preserve all file attributes
5) umount /mnt
6) see if you can now reproduce the same hang using grub-mount on
/path/to/file
7) if so, compress /path/to/file using xz, and put it somewhere for me
to download
Thanks,
