Hi, i have a SLES 12 SP3 box, which boots in an emergency shell. It seems i have a problem with dracut and also with systemd. To both i'm pretty new so sorry if i ask silly stuff. I just can provide you with screenshots because i'm connected to the host with an HP ILO RC, which does not allow copy/paste. My / is mounted in a snapshot (/dev/sda1): https://hmgubox.helmholtz-muenchen.de/f/21b095deee9143bca13b/ >From where does that come ? I didn't find any configuration saying "take the snapshot !". Nothing in /etc/dracut.conf and /etc/dracut.conf.d. Au contraire, my dracut.conf says explicitly to not use a snapshot: https://hmgubox.helmholtz-muenchen.de/f/8ac6460ee6e24389b090/ Also /proc/cmdline says after the boot that it would use the "real" volume, not a snapshot: https://hmgubox.helmholtz-muenchen.de/f/b42304ceabf64f50bb14/ dracut --print-cmdline says to use the snapshot: https://hmgubox.helmholtz-muenchen.de/f/112f657bd05b42468600/ I configured my initramfs again: https://hmgubox.helmholtz-muenchen.de/f/0332cc0dab324c32addf/ That's the result: https://hmgubox.helmholtz-muenchen.de/f/dfaf1e15cba647deb420/ . I see several root fs. From where does the snapshot comes ? Thanks.
