SSD options in /etc/fstab stop machine from booting

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 670 / 2 Years ago, thu, november 3, 2022, 7:05:41

I just recently installed 12.10 on a new Lenovo T430, and added these options in etc stab:

discard, relatime

To sda1 on which is installed. When I rebooted, I got an error claiming that it couldn’t read , and got thrown into a read-only shell, which necessitated booting from a rescue disk to revert to the original fstab.

So: What are the correct options for SSD, and how can I make sure I won't get locked out of the system again?

For my own SSD I use discard, noatime which seems to work, but with the /etc/fstab you have to make sure that no spelling errors are present or it can halt boot-up...

During initial boot hold down SHIFT key and go into recovery mode and from there you can enable read/write by selecting fix repo's and then drop to prompt to fix your /etc/fstab file...
