After power outage tonight my VM booted into maintenance mode and displayed:
Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
nano /etc/fstab
As you can see I commented out two just to see if it would boot without error and it did. My question is how do I know which UUID to use for what? I'm not entirely sure of the syntax for this as well.
You don't need the UUID for logical volumes. It's really only for partitions.
-
@stacksofplates So I just need to mount them?
note: guess not. Hm.
-
Depends on the output of what Scott told you to run. You can uncomment them and do
mount -abut it may not work. -
@stacksofplates Yeah it says it doesn't exist. I did look through those logs, but I will do it again.
-
What's
lsblkshow? -
-
-
Well that's why plex-home failed, it doesn't exist. What vhd was it on?
-
If you don't need the data that was in it you could just create another volume for the home directory and mount it.
-
@stacksofplates Home was just auto generated during installation. I wasn't using afaik
-
You could just create the home directory on the root partition. You would have to copy any keys back. Then just remove the line in fstab for that volume.
-
THis is hardware RAID, but lsblk is showing individual drives coming from the controller. So it looks like the controller has potentially failed?
-
@scottalanmiller Other VM's are fine

They're VHDs
-
How did this corrupt then, no battery?
-
I'm also assuming this VM is running on a XenServer since the disks are xvda and xvdb.
-
@scottalanmiller Prob not. I'm not sure though

Correct
-
Ya while it's not a great idea IMO to put all of the data on the root file system (and span two disks like that), you can just create a home directory for your user and continue on. Just remove the mount line in fstab.

Aren't we looking at the raw devices,before LVM? How are the underlying devices showing up as 3.9TB when they are limited to 2TB. Those are the "physical" partitions on the VHDs.
