My suspicion is that grub-setup has trashed your GPT metadata. Can you verify that all your partitions are still readable from real GRUB, and that files are accessible as well? (from a rescue disk or so) grub-fstest / grub-emu checks are not that reliable, since they might still work because of the host OS disk cache. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
