Resolution

Workaround

Before continuing, take snapshot of the virtual machine.

1. Reboot the appliance.
2. After the reboot, the console will fail in the system checks, and the maintenance prompt will appear.
3. Press Enter to enter maintenance mode and run the following commands:

:/# /bin/sh
:/# /bin/mount
:/# lsblk

4. You will get the list of the disks as shown in the screenshot below, Check the root disk and probably it will be the sda3 (size: 99.8 G):
