How to avoid “Welcome to emergency mode!”












1















Just after power on I got to :



[[0;32m  OK  [0m] Started Login to default iSCSI targets.
[[0;32m OK [0m] Reached target Remote File Systems (Pre).
[[0;32m OK [0m] Reached target Remote File Systems.
Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to
try again to boot into default mode.
Give root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):


How to avoid this?



Who is getting in the way and showing this Welcome to emergency mode!?



May I disable any service so that in the next reboot it didn't happen?



This question is part of another one: Amazon AWS EC2 Volume issue prevents instance access via SSH

    Did you type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs?

    No, because I do not have access to the machine, it's on amazon aws.

We ran into this problem, and I spent 3+ hours trying to fix it. Turns out, one of the EBS wasn't reattached after instance reboot, and since the mount was hardcoded in /etc/fstab, it failed during startup. Once we attached the EBS back to the instance, everything came back up.



Another thing to note: if you reattached the EBS without specifying which /dev/ it's mounted, the EBS will have a different /dev/ point; however, this won't cause an error, as fstab uses device ID and not device location.
