One of my backup systems failed last week, bad power supply. Having replaced the power supply, it now fails to complete boot - systemd.fsck is looping. It keeps fsck'ing something which fails, upon which systemd.fsck says "welcome to emergency mode", then starts over with the fsck.
I guess the next thing is to boot a rescue system, then modify the fstab to omit mounting the failing filesystem. (unless there is a way of specifying that as a startup argument?)
Or manually use fsck to repair the fs in question. BTDT. The "-a" used by boot if not always adequate and fsck needs a guiding hand. We humans still have uses even in this day of driverless cars and automated production lines.
