I can’t run any commands when in single-user mode – My server just dropped to maintenance mode after the backup drive needed an fsck – but after it dropped to shell – any command I type such as fsck results in “no such file or directory”. Help! I need to either mount the filesystem to edit /etc/fstab and remove the second drive – or run fsck on it – but neither command is found!
