I replaced a 4 TB disk this weekend with a new 10 TB disk.

 

I performed a clean shutdown

Popped the 4 TB disk out and replaced it with a new 10 TB DIsk

Started the system up in GUI mode

Issues started here.  I could not log in via the GUI console.  I keep getting "Failed to Execute Command" on the screen.

I ran to my desktop and was able to login via the web GUI and start the array rebuilding process.

Everything seemed fine.  Dockers are working, VM's are up and running.

 

I logged in via ssh and I get the following error:

Could not chdir to home directory Console and webGui login account: No such file or directory
-bash: [: too many arguments
root@STORAGE2:/# 

 

I rebooted after the array has synced into console mode. When i login via root, I get the following error: No directory, logging in with HOME=/

 

When I try to run MC via ssh I get the following error:

root@STORAGE2:/# mc
Failed to run:
Home directory path is not absolute: Console and webGui login account

Has anyone seen this before?  Any advise?

 

As always thanks in advanced to all to any help

System Info

Try typing diagnostics and see if it will generate the file.  It will be in the logs folder/directory on your flash drive.  Upload it if you get it.  

 

You could also try    pwd     (that will list the present working directory)

 

and

 

 try typing     ls  -al     (That provides list of the files and directories on the current directory.

Thanks for the replay.

I also attached my diagnostics file.

Bump

What happens if you reboot into safe mode?

Same issue when I reboot into same mode. 

 

I managed to fix the issue tho.  

 

for some reason my /etc/password file was corrupted.  Cant figure out why the root entry would get corrupted and how but it was.  The entry was missing the home directory attribute.   I should of known this right out of the box due to the errors that were being presented.  (above)

 

Corrupted Entry

root:x:0:0::Console and webGui login account:/bin/bash

                    |

(Look at two colons)

 

Correct Entry

root:x:0:0:Console and webGui login account:/root:/bin/bash

                    |                                                                             |

       (one colon)                                                  (Home directory path)

 

Hope this help anyone who experience this in the future.

 

Thanks everyone for you help.
