Emergency mode on Kinoite, LUKS encrypted. Mounted unavailable partition to home
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!

    Can you comment the lines in fstab which relate to the swap and the Windows partition? If booting is successful afterwards, I’d check with e.g. blkid which partitions your system has got and compare their UUIDs to those used in fstab. If something has messed up the swap partiption, delete it, create a new one, find out its UUID and modify the swap line in fstab accordingly.
