I don’t hate SystemD and even prefer writing unit files over init scripts, but it really has usurped the whole system. It’s even usurped fstab on Debian 10 / Ubuntu 20.04 and it’s awful.
If you lose a disk on a modern system, SystemD will refuse to boot. Instead, it’ll try to drop to an emergency console, BUT there’s no root password on those systems because they use sudo. So it just runs in a loop and you’re SOL.
Losing a data disk shouldn’t prevent my system from booting. WTF?
- passerby1 6y agoWhat options are available to avoid this from happening?
- donmcronald 6y agoI don’t know. Set a root password so you can at least get into the emergency / recovery console.
- _hyn3 6y agoThat doesn't work so well via remote ssh. :(
- asasaasasa 6y agoTwo options available : 1) don't use systemD. 2) don't lose a data disk.
