"Your data may be corrupt": /e/os booting into recovery and crashing on startup after running out of disk space

It was clearer in earlier edits of your post, I think …

So, your device is star2lte - Samsung Galaxy S9+, not a Fairphone 3 with which this topic started out.

Since the mkdir -p /mnt/userdata command doesn’t complain, /mnt/userdata should exist (which your later edits confirm). This would mean /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata doesn’t exist. The structure may be different on an S9+.

It says in https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/6769
“We now have a recovery plan for that situation. Do not hesitate to reach out to us in case you face this problem again.”
So perhaps you could reach out by contacting helpdesk@e.email.
(They didn’t say whether the recovery plan was specific to the Fairphone 3 or more universal.)

Else … @tcecyk: You had some ideas in How to mount encrypted /data partition in recovery mode? … Where to start here :pray: ?
