Hi folks,
Thanks so much for your contributions!
I was finally able to fix the issue!
It seems that the liveCd I used to boot Debian-Edu did some changes to
fstab. I'm not sure tho.
Fact is that I found some funny content in my fstab:
#Entry for /dev/loop0 :
UUID=2020-02-08-14-49-26-00
/media/roman/d-live\040nf\04010.3.0\040xf\040amd64
iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nojoliet,check=s,map=n,blocksize=2048,
uid=1000,gid=1000, dmode=500,fmode=400 0 0
I also found the following file:
/etc/fstab/fstab-disk-manager-save
The file date is equal to the time this boot issue started. I suspect that
it's some kind of backup file.
The following step fixed the issue:
cp fstab-disk-manager-save fstab
Thanks again!!!
Kind regards,
Roman
