I made an accidental edit to /etc/fstab which is causing my TemplateVM to timeout on boot with error Cannot connect to qrexec agent for 60 seconds....
Is there a way to edit a particular VM's etc/fstab without booting it up? Can I perhaps mount it's root filesystem? Attempted solutions 1. I've tried adding init=/bin/bash to the kernel opts, starting the templateVM and then running sudo xl console TEMPLATE_NAME from Dom0 but I did not reach a command-prompt before fstab was read and executed. 2. I tried mounting the root filesystem for the TemplateVM from Dom0 with: sudo mount /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-fedora-26-root mnt but got error wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock... Any suggestions on how I could edit /etc/fstab for my TemplateVM before it gets executed? Steps to reproduce the behavior: - Edit your /etc/fstab to be incorrectly formatted - Run qvm-start YOUR_FAULTY_TEMPLATE Related issue: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/44027/how-to-fix-boot-failure-due-to-incorrect-fstab -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
