[SOLVED] Systemctl Error !

[eaglelinux]

Hello !

After I mount NTFS HDD to /media , Fedora could not start and get an error:

Failed to start /media/windows
Systemctl status media-windows.mount FAIL
Welcome to emergency mode. Use systemctl default or ^D to active default mode

Please help to solve this problem !

Thank you !

Is there an fstab entry for this mount ? Post it.

You generally can't fstab mount to /media - since the /media directory is mounted from tmpfs at boot - there are no pesistent mount points there. IOW /media is only for automounts - mount your NTFS somewhere else on a directory you create.

What does
systemctl status media-windows.mount
report ?
did you look at /var/log/messages ?

When I type in terminal: systemctl status media-windows.mount
I take this information:

media-windows.mount - /media/window
Loaded: loaded
Active:   failed since Tue, 01 May 2012 10 : 59 : 42 +0 200 ; 2min 33s ago
Where:   /media/windows
What:    /dev/sdb1
Process: 714 ExecMount=/bin/mount  /media/windows (code=exited, status=18)
 CGroup: name=systemd : /system/media-windows.mount

What exactly did you do?

You can't mount it to /media/windows, because the directory doesn't exist.

Try /mnt/windows instead.

cat /etc/fstab

Try something like this to get you up and running again

mkdir /media/windows
systemctl restart media-windows.mount
systemctl default
