Server wont boot

[BawkLeo]

I cant get my server to boot up and i get this error in console...

CentOS is very picky about the contents of /etc/fstab and checks for the existence of all partitions listed there. From your error, it looks as though /dev/sdb1 is in /etc/fstab but isn't valid in the system (/dev/xvdb1 is probably what should be listed, instead).

I've seen this happen when SSD space is added or removed and the file isn't edited at the same time.

I recommend entering the root password, then remounting rw and editing /etc/fstab to change any line starting with /dev/sdb1 to /dev/xvdb1. If that doesn't work (after another boot), then try removing it completely.

remount -o remount,rw /
vi /etc/fstab

how exactly am i suppose to edit it, It says error writing fstab: read only file system

Instead of

Code: Select all

remount -o remount,rw /
vi /etc/fstab

try this:

Code: Select all

mount -o remount,rw /
vi /etc/fstab

Happy to help.

Shoot, I did mistype that. Thanks, Jamy.

That's what I get for typing from memory when I'm tired, without double-checking!

I cant blame you, you are helpful enough as it is.

Least you weren't the guy that quoted it, bolded it, and STILL missed it.
