Terminal: chroot-command results in "no such file or directory", but the HD is there when using "cd"
Hello,
I am unable to start up from my harddisk with Yosemite and I am 98% sure that it's because I'm affected by the Chrome VAR bug. I try to apply the VAR bug fix, but I am stopped by this strange problem:
I start up from a different HD with Mojave installed. In terminal I can change directory to "Macintosh HD" (the Yosemite-disk) using the cd command. But when I us the chroot command I get the reply "no such file or directory".
This is copied from Terminal:
Prasads-Mini:Macintosh HD prasad-mojave$ chroot/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD
-bash: chroot/Volumes/Macintosh HD: No such file or directory
As you can see the HD is recognised in line 1, but apparently not in when using chroot.
When doing the same in Recovery mode I get the same result.
Two more things:
- When my Mac started acting strange - before rebooting - I ran disk utility and also CleanMyMac. Could it be that CMM has deleted something that has caused this problem? I have run it several times before with no issues, but perhaps a combination of VAR and CMM-cleanup is unfortunate?
- I know very little about Unix and terminal commands.
