Can't boot after latest update

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Newbie alert, my booting process is stuck at an emergency mode. Journallctl -xb runs a series of lines I don’t understand. It seems I have a red line with: /dev/disk/by-uuid/0748b469-47e4-81f-b52e724a2044. Then it goes into a dependency failed on /mnt/backup and Local File Systems. and File System Check on the above-mentioned disk string.

Control-D brings me back to system maintenance.

I’ve rebooted into the lower number kernel failback to no availa.

Not sure where to go from here and happy my last backup was yesterday with Vorta on a local USB mounted disk…

Thanks for your help.

Did you add something to /etc/fstab for mounting /mnt/backup?

Shit, yes, I added something to stop the system from going into sleep mode when I back up. Totally forgot. I guess I need to launch nano and remove it…

Is your backup drive connected? If not connect it and try booting.

In general, you should add the nofail option to those fstab entries.

Good to know. I was wondering if I should ad a # to the offending string. I’ll add nofail

It worked thanks.
