| Post subject: | Boot-Time Encryped Block Device - Failure |
Hello, NX-ers! I am getting a strange error message during boot-up of my system. The boot stops and it gives me an error message "failure to mount sr2, boot-time encrypted block device", then I have 3 options: S to skip M for manual and i forgot the 3rd option, but after pressing S it continues the boot as if nothing happened. My nx installation is not encrypted.... I have the following questions: How can I save the messages shown during boot-up? If i press F1 during boot I am able to see them, but they scroll down too quickly to read... What is a boot-time encryped block device? Thank yo very much! Adrian |

Generally when you get an error like the one you have something is mess up in the filesystem table. (/etc/fstab). Code: moe@StinkPad:~$ cat /etc/fstab If I've altered the system, say in this case I don't have the USB drive that is normally connected and part of the 'normal' system, whenever I boot the system flips out because /dev/sdb1 is not there.# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=f4f171ea-4997-4d79-953d-0d8b578ded24 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /garage was on /dev/sdb1 during installation #UUID=9cdec3c2-67b9-4a95-a503-2ee960387bd0 /garage ext4 defaults 0 2 # /home was on /dev/sda3 during installation UUID=b2b20155-17be-42cc-b3ce-307696d11587 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 # swap was on /dev/sda4 during installation UUID=48e57dcc-834e-474f-9c49-bfb4bfec9bcc none swap sw 0 0 moe@StinkPad:~3$ If the change is temporary you can hashtag (#) out the line Code: #UUID=9cdec3c2-67b9-4a95-a503-2ee960387bd0 /garage ext4 defaults 0 2 or if it's a permanent change delete the line.Code: sudo medit /etc/fstab I've no idea what's going on in your system, things sr tend to be a strain of cdrom drives, however. To read all the goodies that get logged faster than you can read try: Code: dmesg | less <space> and <b> to move forwards and backwards.

Hello Moe and others! Yes, Moe the problem was in the fstab file - some entry got stuck there from an other removable device: #/dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 After earmarking it with the #, my problem is gone, and nx boots up just like before... nice  Thank you for taking the time to respond! I think Nx is the best thing happened to sailboats since jiffy-reefing has been invented! |

Since you commented the line out, if you need it back in play, just edit the file, save it, and issue sudo mount -a to re-read everything in /etc/fstab without rebooting. ...and I agree with your assessment. |
