I am using windows 10 and configured Ubuntu on virtual machine using Hyper-V for making a shared file server within our small office. I have assigned 2048Mb RAM to Ubuntu file server. I am facing a problem, whenever the physical computer shuts down accidentally (Due to electricity issue) and restarts, the file server is not accessible. When I open the Hyper-V, Ubuntu gives the message in last line



Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalct1 -xb" to view
Press enter for maintenance (or press Control-D to continue"




The only problem is that I have to manually RDP the server and click manually the CtrlD to continue otherwise it keeps there and server files are not accessible.



I am not very good in Linux and just first time I am using it with the help of video tutorials.
Kindly help me out to get rid of this situation so in any case when the physical computer restarts, the VM starts completely itself.
Thanks.

    Maybe you should actually run journalctl -xb for once and see what is failing.

You need to combat the sickness, not the symptoms!



If your server shuts down because of electricity failures, buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)! If you don't, not only is your file system going to go haywire after enough interruptions, but your hardware as well...



That's why we have data centers where we normally store our servers, and if you can't afford a UPS: UPSes are much cheaper to buy then new computers... (Which makes this answer and your question totally off-topic here)



We could make the pesky error message go away but that would be like giving you an aspirin instead of giving you antibiotics to cure your disease.

Probably your file-system is corrupted. Try this:



First identify your partition.



Run the command:




umount -t /dev/your-partition




Then:




fsck -y /dev/your-partition




For example, my Linux / directory is at sda3, but my /home directory is at sda5, so when something like this happens to me, I do the following:




  • Press enter for command line;


  • Type:




umount -t /dev/sda3





  • Hit enter;



umount -t /dev/sda5




*****DO NOT USE: umount -a*****




  • Hit enter;


  • Then:




fsck -y /dev/sda3





  • Hit enter;



fsck -y /dev/sda5





  • Hit enter;


If you don't know which partition to choose, type umount -t /dev/sd and hit tab twice for you to see its available partitions.
