I increased the disk size of one of my VM when it was running. After a reboot, I get the following error message (at boot time):

Mounting local filesystems...failed Now the VM is only accessible through ESX console (not through ssh), and nothing is working anymore....

I already tried to run fsck, but without success.

The result of mount: enter image description here

The result of blkid:

The result of fstab:

Thanks for your help

  • Can you please tell me which boot loader you use? Grub, lilo? Also, can you mount this partition and use it's content? I think your problem is not related to partition itself, more to fstab etc - ie in your fstab partitions are addressed by UUID, not by /dev, if for some reason UUID of this partition has changed during size change, it will no longer fit fstab description.

  • I'm using grub. I managed to mount the partition by adding a new line to fstab. However, it is now displayed as a duplicate...

  • EDIT: Or wait... those UUIDs looks ok. But still, for me this partition is OK. Problem is - it can't be found for some reason. Which distro is it?

  • Can you try to boot your system passing manually root option to the kernel? In grub, you have to hit C key - it will open CLI. Type linux root=/dev/sda1. If I'm right, it will point properly kernel to the root partition and system will boot successfully. Fingers crossed :)
