[SOLVED] Proxmox wont boot after power failure: (Time out waiting for device)

[mrmuttley]

Hi all,
I'm a real n00b so please bear with me.

My machine running Proxmox got unintentionally turned off after a power failure and now it won't boot beyond the emergency mode screen:
(apologies for sharing images as I'm not sure how else to share the screen from this menu):

The drive in question is an SSD thats inside the machine, labelled storage (sda). It's got no valuable data on it.



Output of lsblk:



Output of fdisk -l:


I have tried searching for a solution to this but with no luck.
Is anyone able to kindly assist?

fsck manually your sda2 partition if this your Storage label.

And for the future...if you care about your data and you don't want to corrupt your filesystems on a power outage, get a UPS so your server can do a graceful shutdown while running for a few minutes on battery.

Had to re-install Proxmox from fresh.
Thanks for the assistance and input

ouch, it works but no great learning experience...
next step was removing sda2 from /etc/fstab or unit .mount files from /etc/systemd
then clear only sda2...

Thanks for your feedback and assistance.

Landed up having to solve multiple issues so I did land up learning quite a bit!
Realised that my backsups were good and I what I should do going forward.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to reply and assist me.
