🛠️ Fixing AlmaLinux Emergency Mode: XFS Repair & Boot Recovery

🚀 Problem

During system boot, the following errors appeared:

🔍 Cause

• The XFS log (journal) on the root filesystem was corrupted.
• The system was using LVM (Logical Volume Manager), and /sysroot couldn't mount properly.

✅ Solution: Fixing Emergency Mode

️Identify the Root Partition (LVM)

Run:

blkid

Execute the following command to repair XFS:

xfs_repair /dev/mapper/almalinux-root

If you’re unable to repair without clearing the journal, use the -L flag (this will clear the journal, and may cause data loss):

xfs_repair -L /dev/mapper/almalinux-root

🔴 Warning: The -L flag clears the journal, which may cause recent data loss.

Reboot the System

After the repair, reboot the system to check if it boots successfully:

reboot
