I guess it can’t get the uuid from within the chroot?

Is there another way I can try to get it?

What happened to your partition?
Is this your own PC, or possibly stolen? :thinking: :no_mouth:

What is this partition?

That is the second hard drive. Mostly it has my steam library. The OS is on my main drive.

Is it also encrypted?

Lol. I don’t know. The last time I updated it booted to this error.

No, I don’t think the Toshiba is encrypted, just the main drive As far as I remember, the only thing on the Toshiba is my steam library.

Which partition is it because it isn’t showing up in your blkid output.

main drive is the sda2 . The Toshiba is sdb1

Try outside of chroot:

sudo fdisk -l is the old old way to show all the details :wink:

i mean this really looks simply like the drive is unplugged or defective… or at least have filesystem issue…
you could do a filesystemcheck … would be possible with gparted too…

It is worryingly strange that UUID is not shown from only sdb1.
It most possibly means there is a HW problem. The drive is seen, but not read. :no_mouth:

sdb1 isn’t even showing in your lsblk.

For now, I would add nofail to the entry in /etc/fstab for that filesystem. That will stop it from blocking boot.
