No bootable devices found after power outage

1st Official Post

    I have a Dell which I've installed OMV on and it's been working great for years. Last night I had a power outage and the system went down. I have NUT installed so it should have gracefully shutdown.


    This morning I was unable to connect to it. I attached a monitor to the machine and it says No bootable devices found. The bootable drive is detected (500gb SSD) as well as all my data drives. So it seems fine from a hardware side.


    Does anyone have any debugging tips I can try? Thanks

    The UPS may have a bad battery. Do you have notifications set up? You should have received a couple of emails at least. The first when the power disappears. The second when the server receives the order to turn off the system. That would confirm that the system was shut down cleanly.

    But looking at the result, it probably wasn't like that.


    I would google for a way to do a SMART test manually from the CLI on the boot drive.

    SMART test results were ok. I only received a single email notification stating that the power was out. I did not get one for when it was actually shutting down. Seems like my UPS batteries need to be replaced. Thanks


    Ultimately I was able to fix this using boot-repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

    1. setup ubuntu usb key
    2. boot ubuntu
    3. setup and install boot-repair
    4. run repair
