Suse Leap 15.6 - Boot Fails After Zypper Update

Ran zypper update command and rebooted.

Boot fails with the errors in the image below and goes into emergency command line.

There seems to be an issue with the /home directory under /dev/system/home

The operating system is installed on a BTRFS file system.

The home directories are stored on a an encrypted partition. The file system is EXT4.

The encrypted partition cannot be mounted. No messages in dmesg from failed mount system call.

The error suggests to run a fsck manually on the filesystem.

My mistake. Wrong mount command. Should be mount /dev/sda_crypt

The encrypted file system is already mounted and mapped to /dev/mapper/crypt_vg-data and mounted on /mnt/data.

I can see the home directory. Will run fsck -N on /dev/sda_crypt.

Results from FSCK command.

The problem flagged in the journal is with the ext4 system /home file system and not /mnt/data/home

The correct command is e2fsck -f /aaa/bbbb

Ran e2fsck -n /dev/system/home. Errors displayed.

Ran e2fsck -fv /dev/system/home. Errors fixed. Rebooted. Problem solved.
