Centos 7 VM enter in emergency mode while reboot

Post by ludomania007 » 2019/05/07 11:41:54

Hello,
I got some problem with my Centos 7 VM on Xencenter 7. Most of time when i try to reboot my VMs, they crash at rebooting and enter in emergency mode. As suggested i use

Code: Select all

journalctl -xb

and in the result i saw

Code: Select all

job home.mount/start failed with result 'dependency
job dev-mapper-cl\x2dhome.device/start failed with result 'timeout'
or
no memory reserved for crash kernel, starting kdump failed
failed to start crash recovery kernel arming.
With some capture after and before crash i notice that the partition /dev/mapper/cl-home (with fdisk) didn't appear anymore. And when i look at journactl i saw the message

Code: Select all

job dev-mapper-cl\x2dhome.device/start time out
I just try something, i comment the line with /home in the /etc/fstab file, the VM start again but i cannot login with the normal user, i can only login with root.
I don't understand why the home partition disappear and how to prevent it or fix it .
Now i cannot login with the normal user and cannot access to home

Can you mount /home manually?
If not, any error messages?

What is your /home? What device does it reside on?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Home was the folder of the current user and it was on the /dev/xvda1 that was the only partion of my disk

Can you post the /home line in /etc/fstab?
Can you also post the output of this: df -h
Edit: And this (running as root): fdisk -l

As it's on an LVM LV, we need to see the output from the commands

pvs
vgs
