I have a remote server running Ubuntu 16.04 server that hangs on boot. In order to find the error I booted it in rescue mode, mounted devices to /mnt and chrooted to /mnt.
Here's what I did so far:
root@rescue ~ # mount /dev/md2 /mnt
root@rescue ~ # mount /dev /mnt/dev
root@rescue ~ # mount /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
root@rescue ~ # mount /proc /mnt/proc
root@rescue ~ # mount /sys /mnt/sys
root@rescue ~ # chroot /mnt
Now when I try to read the boot log using journalctl I get
root@rescue ~ # journalctl
No journal files were found.
-- No entries --
Any suggestions how to get the boot log entries? Btw. there is no /var/log/boot.log
