Hello, web search without X11 is difficult.. Anyone knows how I can boot into openSUSE (Leap 42.3) on a btrfs root filesystem, which got degraded. I wanted to exchange a defective harddisk.
Do you have RAID1? Otherwise what's the point in booting into something that you are going to replace anyway.
I am sorry, it is of course RAID Level 1. One HDD is ok, the other has bad sectors.
I tried booting with rootflags=degraded, and also specifying root partition as "root=/dev/sdb2". despite that, boot doesn't even complete to rescue mode, but is waitin without limit with "A start job is running for dev-whatever.device"
Well, if device is not there, then even degraded mount is not possible.
the second device is not needed to mount it degraded. But systemd is awaiting it anyway. Despite of the rootflags.
what do I miss?
You did not provide enough details of your configuration to be able to answer it.
The raid is not mdadm raid, but btrfs raid. anything else missing? bootloader is grub2. Regards, Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
