Asked By CuriousCat92 On

I recently started my PC running Arch Linux, and I encountered a problem. I'm hoping to find a solution without the need for a USB drive. If anyone can guide me on how to resolve this, I'd really appreciate it!

It looks like you're in a bit of a pickle! First, could you check your `/etc/fstab` file? You can view it by running `cat /etc/fstab`. Also, getting output from `blkid` and `lsblk` could help diagnose the issue. Did you recently change your `fstab` or add any new hardware? Unfortunately, I'm more familiar with Ubuntu, but those commands should work in Arch's emergency shell too.

For `/etc/fstab`, I got a permission denied error (even with sudo). Here's what `blkid` returned: https://ibb.co/ycqYYmQG. Unfortunately, `lsblk` doesn't work, and I haven't installed any new disks.

If you really want to resolve this without a USB, you might be limited. But have you thought about booting a live USB of a different distro like Ubuntu? Running a file system check (FSCK) could sort out the mess if it's related to your drives.
