I'm in a bit of situation here:



I have linux mint 17, and on boot it says Press S to skip mounting or M for manual Recovery. So I press S



and when I try to login with my username blue it says




Your home directory is listed as: '/home/blue' but it does not appear to exist.




I logged in using ctrl+alt+f1 and using root. I mounted /dev/sda7 in /mnt/sda7 to check if my files exist - they are. Inside /mnt/sda7 there are 2 folders: blue and lost+found.



The blue folder is my home folder with all my stuff.



So: how exactly should I mount sda7 in order to fix the situation and how to make it persist rebooting? What is the exact mount command?



Thanks




mount

    You probably need to run a fsck manually while the drive is not mounted.

Was there a message before your "Press S to skip mounting or M for manual Recovery" message explaining why you're being prompted? My guess is disk corruption. Try unmounting /mnt/sda7 and then doing fsck /dev/sda7 to check your disk for errors. You can try to mount your filesystems using the sudo mount -a command

  • I added /dev/sda7 to fstab and then mount -a.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
