The most important tool is a brain with knowledge of the history. Exemple : Q. Did the operator change anything to the system before it failed ? A. Yes. He created a permanent automatic mount entry in fstab for a removable device which is not always present. BIG mistake. At least when you do that, add the "nofail" option and use an identifier which is less volatile than the device file. Solution : revert the change. No need to reinstall.
