From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey people! It seems I have some really messed up fstab or anything else, as Windows tried to do "disk repair".

Now after decrypting my LUKS storage it seems is tries to mount a nonexistent Windows partition and always fails.

I am using default BTRFS on Fedora Kinoite.

Has anyone an idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Update, Solution found!

I literally had the external Windows drive mounted to a subdirectory of Home, so as it wasnt there for some weird reason nothing loaded?

Will try to use the nofail flag, thanks @[email protected] for the tip!

You can set up mount points on Linux, at least in GNOME, very easily. (It's even fully automatic for external disks.) I'd be surprised if it isn't as easy in KDE and other desktops too.

The problem here (at least from what it sounds like) isn't setting up mount points. The problem is fixing an incorrect fstab on the disk that's causing the system to hang on boot.

(This isn't a typical situation, which is why I also asked about how the partition was added to the system.)
