Dependency failed for local-fs.target

Hello

Since upgrade to 4.2 a few issues have happened

I have the laptop root account locked after a failed boot

Could a kind soul please explain how to get this issue resolved

There seems to be a failure with a second-HDD used for back-ups - and later moved to an external storage

laptop:
HP ProBook 450 G5

Thanks

for completeness, the following sorted this situation.

booted by editing grub and adding:

init=/bin/bash

entering storage password, and landing on a bash with β€œ/” mounted in read-only

remounting β€˜root’ in read-write mode:

mount -o remount,rw /

editing /etc/fstab

in this case, using noauto

rebooted, and all seems well for now
