Emergency mode on Kinoite, LUKS encrypted
discussion.fedoraproject.org
I had to swap SSDs to see if Windows would fix its stuff when internally, it didnt. I ran Kinoite in an external SSD case instead, did an rpm-ostree update too. The update went well, I rebooted into that again, used it a while, turned it off and unplugged the SSD. I think I waited until everything was completely black, pretty sure. I had Windows 11 boot up once, attempting to do a “disk repair” and that failed for some reason, it doesnt boot up too. I guess that messed up my boot partition. B...

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 @rotopenguin@infosec.pub for the tip!

        Because there’s so much crap it’s impossible to know it all.

        I guarantee this isn’t the only thing that you think you should know about but don’t.

        It goes in the fourth column of the fstab, so like

        /dev/disk/by-label/Butts /mnt/pants buttfs defaults,nofail,subvol=@ss 0 0

        (love too eat spaces and any other attempt at formatting text)
