I am trying to boot my system but, it is giving me an error as 

    "An error occurred while mounting home/jack/jack-app/machine_config "
            Press S skip to mounting or M for manual recovery

after this I restarted the system it worked fine. For troubleshooting this error I look into the /var/log/boot.log. Then I got the actual error as 

mount: special device /machine_config/jack does not exist
mountall: mount /home/jack/jack-app/machine_config [601] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /home/jack/jack-app/machine_config

So I tried to look into the /machine_config directory in that jack directory is not present. instead of it Lost+found directory is present. I don't know any reason how this directory is formed.

So I have following questions:

  1. How this Lost+found directory formed.

  2. If I created a directory as jack in the /macine_config folder is it causing any problem or any other solution for that problem

  3. When I comment the issue line is it cause some problem to others.

Thanks in advance.

Here is my fstab file

  • There is this for question 1.. – Wilf Jan 30 '14 at 22:13
  • You can try make new directory. But first, confirm that /machine_config is mounted. Run df to list all mounted paths. Please, add results of df to the question. – user.dz Jan 31 '14 at 12:54
  • @Sneetsher, I have added output df command. please let us know your thoughts – Prakash V Holkar Jan 31 '14 at 14:36

    Well /machine_config is mounted. If it wasn't, the new folder jack will be created in /machine_config folder which does not point to /dev/mapper/jack-machine_config . Now, try create new folder jack and change its owner and permissions same as /machine_config . Please, let me know if i need to explain more. – user.dz Jan 31 '14 at 14:48

It appears that the correct path is home/jack/video-jack-app/machine_config so missing video in the path shortened to home/jack/jack-app/machine_config throws an error as the path doesn't exist.

Neither of the options 2 or 3 you suggest will have the desired result, regarding #1 see the comment above by Wilf
