Secondary Hardrive Failed, booting into dracut emergecy shel

Post by weakwall » 2015/09/03 20:46:14

Hi Guys,

I had a my secondary hard drive fail on my centos 7 box.
however when I rebooted the box I go right into dracut emergency shell.

In total I have total of 4 hard drives(they are not raided) all mounting at start up and 1 of the secondary ones failed where I have no OS or system information

How can I recover from this?

I am just trying to get centos to boot up without the failed hard drive and I am having a heck of a time trying to figure this out.

When I go into the centos rescue option. everything loads fine however when I try the regular centos option I go into dracut emergency shell.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where is the failed drive supposed to mount?
What messages do you get?

Can you give us the output of the following command please:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/fstab
Also any messages you get would be useful - as aks said.
