fstab corrupted - koper89 - 26th Jan, 2014 08:29 PM
Hi, guys i messed up and changed fstab incorrectly, after this my xbian is not booting - configuring network .... is there any way to fix this f.e. using another SD card and booting it somehow? After few tries i cant see it booting using USB->SDcard adapter...;/
EDIT:
Fixed editing fstab from Ubuntu live CD

RULE 1: make a backup of any system file edited.
RULE 2: Read rule 1.
Looking at all your posts - you need to have a GOOD backup plan. We will not help you forever with non Xbian related issues.

Sorry that i bothered you with so many "problems", I wanted to rush things a little and that's why i included my questions here, I'll not ask about stupid stuff since now;D (at least I'll try not to
)

All issues on XBian are XBian related, it's not like they asked how to setup Ubuntu
Creating backups of files you edit is the best advice.

Yep, and i managed to fix it (if anyone else will have such a problem):
Download ubuntu live CD, start your PC using this and insert SD Card. edit files using sudo and youre good to go

Good tip - thanks for that.
However, it shouldn't be necessary :-)
Pressing space during boot should put you into a rescue shell, ditto putting rescue in cmdline.txt.

I will test, but system SHOULD boot even with empty stab. of course /home will not get mounted and xbmc not started so you will have to wait for failsafe recovery (100seconds after boot and no XBMC up), but you should get a console.

The problem was that i put in filesystem format xbian instead of ext4
