VPS Emergency Mode: Where to Find Files<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>
Step 2 – Unmount the partition<\/h2>
After connecting to Emergency Mode SSH, run the following command:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
lsblk<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p>
The output will show the details about the storage devices detected by the system and their associated information. It will look similar to this example:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
root@machine:\/# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
loop0 7:0 0 63.4M 1 loop \/snap\/core20\/1974
loop1 7:1 0 111.9M 1 loop \/snap\/lxd\/24322
loop2 7:2 0 53.3M 1 loop \/snap\/snapd\/19457
loop3 7:3 0 40.9M 1 loop \/snap\/snapd\/20290
loop4 7:4 0 63.5M 1 loop \/snap\/core20\/2015
sda 8:0 0 50G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 49.9G 0 part \/mnt\/sda1
├─sda14 8:14 0 4M 0 part
└─sda15 8:15 0 106M 0 part \/mnt\/sda15
\/boot\/efi
sdb 8:16 0 2.2G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 2.1G 0 part \/
├─sdb14 8:30 0 4M 0 part
└─sdb15 8:31 0 106M 0 part
sr0 11:0 1 4M 0 rom<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p>
The main partition can be identified as the largest in size. In the example above, the largest partition is sda1<\/code>, designated witht the mount point \/mnt\/sda1<\/code><\/p>\n<\/p>
\n
If the MOUNTPOINTS<\/b> column for your device is empty<\/b>, skip this part and proceed directly to the next step.<\/p>\n<\/div>
\n<\/p>
Unmount the main partition if the MOUNTPOINTS column for your device is not empty<\/b> by entering the following command:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
umount mountpoint<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p>
Replacing mountpoint<\/code> with your main partition’s mount point. In this example, it would look like this:<\/p>\n<\/p>
umount \/mnt\/sda1<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p>
If you receive a warning stating that the device is busy<\/b>, ensure that there are no ongoing accesses to this directory from other sources such as the File Manager, SSH, or FTP.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Step 3 – Restore the file system<\/h2>
Once the main partition is unmounted, run the following command:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
xfs_repair \/dev\/device<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p>
Replacing device<\/code> with your device name. Following the same example:<\/p>\n<\/p>
xfs_repair \/dev\/sda1<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p>
Make sure to leave the \/dev<\/b> directory at the beginning of the path, as this is the directory that stores all devices, whether mounted or not.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Step 4 – Restart your VPS<\/h2>
After repairing the file system on your main partition, reboot <\/b>the server – the filesystem will be fixed and your VPS should start working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
