Bootup Skip Error [SOLVED]

Post by zubbs1 »

I get the following message on bootup:

keys:continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

Im certain this is do to a recently replaced hard drive that died and was replaced, as this only started when I installed the new drive.

When I edit my /etc/fstab, it only shows my ssd drive with the os partition, the swap partition, and the remaining drive partition.
# / was on /dev/sdc2 during installation (ROOT PARTITION)
UUID=c8ae4d3e-eb0f-471b-b4eb-939a44df9949 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot/efi was on /dev/sdc1 during installation (LINUX OS)
UUID=7900-B25E /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sdc3 during installation (SWAP FILE PARTITION)
UUID=98729617-f4ef-4743-a7cd-4906666057d3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/2053cebc-6245-4331-a87e-ba6c778cbedc /mnt/2053cebc-6245-4331-a87e-ba6c778cbedc auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

Here is the list of all my hard drives. sdb1,2,3 are the partitions listed in the fstab, sda1,c1, and d2 are the three drives that are not present in fstab for some reason I don't understand)
zubba@Tesla ~ $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 2 11:07 01CD106613613A20 -> ../../sdc1

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 2 11:07 c8ae4d3e-eb0f-471b-b4eb-939a44df9949 -> ../../sdb2
I figure if I can get those three drives listed in fstab, perhaps the error will go away, but I don't know the proper syntax to enter them (I'm very new to linux). I appreciate any help.

Cheers.

At first to the message at boot. If the given information is complete, than the reason is, that this partition does not exist, most likely, because it was on the removed drive.
Edit fstab with root privileges and remove the last line (the very long one). Note, that fstab should have an empty line at the end, so go to the end of the file and press the Enter-key, before you save it.

The reason, that the other partitions are not present in fstab, is simple: they were not connected to a mount-point during installation. As long as they need not to get auto-mounted during boot, leave at as it is. They should be visible in your file manager and you can mount them by simply clicking on them.

(Wondering, why there is no sdd1.)

I'll have to try this when I get home. It sounds clear enough though. The sdd1 partition is about 150MB labeled as some sort of Microsoft thing. The disk was first installed when I was running windows 7, so I assume it was a carry over (I think it is a NTFS format as well). When the 3TB drive bit it, I bought a 4TB to replace, so I may just repartion the sdd1 drive as an ext4 to clean things up a bit.
