[SOLVED] proxmox 5.4 stuck at initramfs - mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory
- Thread starter manjuv.storage
- Start date
Treat it as a Linux/XFS/filesystem error rather than Proxmox problem. Search for key phrases appearing on the screen, ie "corruption of in-memory data detected". Plug it into google and try a few methods mentioned there:

Its possible you have hardware that have gone bad. Given 5.4 is old, I suspect hardware is no spring chicken either.
Or you could have a power loss corruption. Give the blogs/articles a try.

Thank you for the response. As suggested, I tried to execute "xfs_repairt -L" command at initramfs, but the command is not found. Could you please suggest further troubleshooting.
you missed the first part of the comment:
Instead, you should xfs_repair the filesystem, but since it's the root filesystem you'll need to boot from installation media or a rescue environment provided by your VPS provider.

As mentioned in the link, I booted server in Proxmox VE 5.4 installation media and choose rescue mode and tired to execute "xfs_repairt -L" command. The command is not found. Hence I reposted. Do I need to boot server using different OS like Ubuntu 20 Desktop in order to get xfs_repairt command.
Here I'm screenshot. Kindly check and help on this. Much appriciated in advance.

The sample link is not Proxmox related and discusses a generic OS installation media that is presumed to have the necessary recovery commands.
As you discovered PVE special installer does not, so yes - do get a more suitable Live/Recovery media, ie https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD
Keep in mind, if the issue is truly bad memory, you may do more harm than good by trying to fix the filesystem while memory is defectives. Please review other articles related to the message, note that many advise running memtest (which I believe may be available from Proxmox boot options).
If the data on the disk is important, I recommend moving the disk to another machine and doing a byte-for-byte raw copy of the disk to another disk or file.

I could able to run "xfs_repairt -L" comannd using Ubuntu Live CD and it got fixed. Now the OS is getting loaded completely. Thank you for supporting. Have a nice day. You may close this thread.
