Mount: /openswap_keymount: no filesystem type specified

[DomaK]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been running Manjaro with the XFCE flavour for over 3 years now. And I’ve been puzzled with this problem. I can’t seem to boot into my OS anymore.

I’ve been running a dual boot where I’ve installed each OS on a different SSD. However, it seems if my NVME SSD isn’t being recognised anymore. Both of my drives are encrypted.

The windows with Bitlocker and the Manjaro with LUKS. This is the error message I’m getting after selecting to boot into Manjaro from GRUB

mount: /openswap_keymount: no filesystem type specified.
Device /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f65[...] does not exist or access denied.
umount: can't unmount openswap_keymount: Invalid argument
ERROR: resume: hibernation device ` /dev/mapper/luks-3766[...]` not found
mount: /new_root: no filesystem type specified.
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs ]#

I then created the current Manjaro XFCE iso and booted into it (I’m currently using it to write this post).
I’ve then tried running: lsblk -f
This is the output from the command:

I don’t seem to find my NVMe where I have Manjaro installed on it?
When i try running inxi --full I get the following output:

Again, upon further inspection I can see that in the Drives section, only one of the two SSDs is displayed (NVMe is missing).

I’m not so experienced with Linux that I can continue debugging this on my own and coming up with a solution. My hunch is, that somehow for whatever reason the NVMe isn’t being detected…?

It was working fine yesterday, the only thing i can remember is when I updated pacman -Syu it installed spectre meltdown checker I believe that’s how that package was named. Not sure if this is relevant whatsoever?

As this is my work box, I really don’t want to opt to the reinstall solution yet.

Thanks in advance.

I found that when I run the command:

[manjaro /]# dmesg | grep -i nvme
[    4.142532] ahci 0000:00:17.0: Found 1 remapped NVMe devices.

I’m not sure what that might mean. But that does lead me a step closer to identifying the root cause of the issue (at least that’s what I believe…)

@DomaK

Kernel: 6.1.12-1-MANJARO

Did you try booting with a 5.x kernel yet?
It might be related to some drivers or modules, maybe

Also are both NVMe drives listed in your UEFI-BIOS?
You need to enter your BIOS for that…

[DomaK]

Hi,

Did you try booting with a 5.x kernel yet?

I tried booting with 5.10 as the kernel. Same problem.

The Kernel: 6.1.12-1-MANJARO Is from the live usb.

Also are both NVMe drives listed in your UEFI-BIOS?

I’ve got a Samsung SSD and a Toshiba NVME. This is the BIOS output:

SATA-0 = 250GB S3YJ...
SATA-2 = (none)
M.2 PCIe SSD-0 = 256 GB 98MPA0....

They’re both showing up in my BIOS entry.

However! If I’m inside of the GRUB CLI by pressing C in the GRUB menu. I enter the GRUB CLI.

When i use the ls command I get both of the drives displayed. And I can navigate inside of my filesystem…

This is the output I get when I’m inside of the GNU GRUB version 2.04~Manjaro prompt

grub> ls
(crypto0) (proc) (hd0) (hd0)  (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) (hd1) (hd1,gpt4) (hd1,gpt3) (hd1,gpt2) (hd1,gpt1)
grub> _

Please excuse the image quality, :
Here’s also an image from the failed boot

Here the GRUB Config:

And finally the GRUB CLI output when i try to use ls

[DomaK]

I was able to resolve the issue.

Somehow my BIOS decided to change my SATA operation to RAID ON from AHCI. Due to this, the NVMe SSD wasn’t being read during load, which meant the path to the LUKS container wasn’t there.
Props to this post for nudging me in that direction:
LUKS encrypted drive is missing. “cryptsetup: lvm is not available”

Hopefully this might help someone else encountering this issue in the future
