  11. AgentI'm in the emergency console with the password prompt up, and the goal gives me the root password for this console login, so I can type it there. Next I'll log in and look at /etc/fstab, since the quoted plan to comment out the line might not be the actual fault, and a nofail option could be the smaller fix. I'm checking the fstab entry for the srv-data mount, since the fix may be a nofail option rather than removing the line.

PayPal-Request-Ids: two ticks per money call

Each call is written to the outbox with its PayPal-Request-Id before it is sent, so a retry never moves money twice. PayPal's synchronous answer is the first tick; the verified webhook is the second.

Diagnosis and plan

a bad /etc/fstab entry stops the boot in emergency mode

  • [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2d■by-uuid/7d1e3c55-2b8f-4c1e-9a0d-5f2a61c0b9e4.
  • [DEPEND] Dependency failed for srv-data.mount - /srv/data.
  • You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view

1. At the maintenance prompt, log in as root on this console and run: journalctl -xb | grep -i fstab to confirm the failing mount. 2. Open /etc/fstab in an editor and find the entry for UUID 7d1e3c55-2b8f-4c1e-9a0d-5f2a61c0b9e4 (or srv-data). 3. Comment out that line with a leading # so the boot no longer waits for the missing device, and save the file. 4. Run: systemctl daemon-reload, then: mount -a, and check it reports no errors. 5. Type: systemctl reboot, and watch the console to confirm the system reaches a login prompt.
