But basically, if you mount the RootFS and get a shell, even in emergency mode, all the functions of 'systemctl' are available to you as well as all the tools in /{usr/,}bin, and the out-of-the-box configuration will let you run 'journalctl -b' in its various forms to let you see what went wrong with the previous boot.
Usually there are no man pages available at that point. I know how to use a shell, how to use a POSIX compatible toolset. Where is the basic compatibility. There is none. I don't want a foreign system on my server. I just want it to work.
I really really really think that you're being ridiculous. There are always man pages available. Even when I have no power and all my network is shut down and I don't have my laptop I can take my tablet across to the coffee shop and use the wifi there to read on-line man pages. What you are really saying here is that you expect to be able to deal with these problems by never having bothered to familiarise yourself with the capabilities when you do have an up and running system, read the man pages and the on-line how-to articles, keep a daybook where you note these things, try them out, experiment and familiarise yourself with their workings. I've never *HAD* to run 'journalctl -b' to diagnose a boot problem, but I've looked at at how it works so that I know about it in advance in case I ever do. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
