Folks,
 during the night there was a power failure. When I powered up one of my systems it booted into emergency mode.  I'm not sure what to do to get it out of this.  Nothing I've tried works. Both root and home are mounted.  The default target is graphical.target.

In the past making sure there were no other disk drives attached has usually been enough to get past maintenance mode, but not this time.

Any help is appreciated.

Something is royally fubared, that prevents the system from coming up, so it's thrown into emergency mode. Correct diagnosis requires quite a bit of expertise, and know how, to try to recover, starting with deciphering systemd's binary logs (instead of old, boring, plain text log files). And if the binary logs themselves are corrupted, well, you're stuck.

The fastest solution might be to just mount a flash drive, or something, find whatever files are important to you, and copy them to the flash drive, then reinstall from scratch. Afterwards, if time permits, look into getting a UPS, then use nut or apcupsd to prevent this from ever happening again.
