Hope I got this straight, and this is the place to post questions: Have made a persistent USB of Ubuntu 18.04. Which worked fine until I tried to boot my mac mini (2009) It booted fine for a couple of times then the boot partition got messed up. It won't even boot on a PC now. Here's the error message: (initramfs) Mount: mounting/cow on/root failed: Invalid argument overlay mount failed.
