Ladies and Gentlemen:We've got a Debian 8 box (an old Dell 400SC) that won't launch X (it boots to a command line) or Tomcat, nor mount a USB hard drive that we use for backups.
It will, however, accept ssh connections.In the boot sequence, I see "Failed" where it tries to mount the USB drive. I also can't seem to get that drive to mount on anything else, which suggests that it has been corrupted.
Can somebody suggest where to start looking for the problem? -- James H. H. Lampert
