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.

Help: Emergency Mode after Windows borked everything, BTRFS, LUKS, Fedora (discussion.fedoraproject.org)

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!

Thanks, yes very true. I didnt know that every mount in fstab needs to succeed, so I literally didnt have the drive attached. Removing the line (what sign do you use for commenting, pound?? £ ?) Fixed everything.

£

Ugh, didn't think of that interpretation.

Pound sign, as in "#".

Hahaha lol, thats a hashtag isnt it?

No, though it could be the first character in a hashtag. A hashtag includes the characters that follow.

EDIT: The article I linked to says that in Canada, it's typically called the "number sign", in the US, the "pound sign", and in the UK, the "hash mark".
