Emergency Mode due to disk corruption [duplicate]

  • 772

I am writing to save others time if they get into an issue and end up in Emergency Mode due to a corrupt entry in /etc/fstab.

enter image description here

This has already been asked, but I couldn't get the resolution quickly and had to dig a lot.

    I simply edited the /etc/fstab using

    sudo nano /etc/fstab

    and removed the recently added partition entry from the file. Mine was /dev/sda2 which I removed.

    Then I rebooted using sudo systemctl reboot and it worked.

    Taken from this answer to the question “Welcome to emergency mode!” Think it is a fsck problem.
