I recently installed the UrBackup Client on my Ubuntu 22.04 server, opting for Snapshot Type 4 - Linux Device Mapper for my backups. During the installation, I was prompted to convert the system to use initramfs, to which I responded “yes”.

Convert root device into device mapper device on boot (initramfs)? This is required for root device/filesystem backup. [Y/n]
After this configuration, the server fails to boot, and I’m encountering a specific error message during the startup process.
The error message indicates that the root device is recognized as a snapshot and advises modifying the root= boot parameter to point to the actual root device instead of the snapshot. It also suggests adding ‘setup-snapshot=0’ to the boot parameters to correct the boot issue. The exact error message displayed is:
Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done.
Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done.
urbackup_setup_snapshot: Root device is snapshot (clobbered: /dev/mapper/root-98d1fb8f1f435). Please edit root= boot parameter to be the root device and add 'setup-snapshot=0' to boot parameters to fix boot. Then run 'update-grub' to fix grub.
I’m stuck at this point and am unsure how to proceed with editing the boot parameters effectively or how to ensure that my server can boot properly without losing any data. Any guidance on how to resolve this boot issue would be greatly appreciated.
