Ubuntu 25.10 "Questing Quokka" Vultr VirtioFS


Just updated my Vultr instance to Ubuntu 25.10 "Questing Quokka" today!

When I went to SSH I couldn't and had to VNC into the machine.

It was in Emergecy Mode. I looked through the logs and noticed it did not mount my virtiofs correctly.

I removed the /etc/fstab entry and it booted succesfuly.

Here's the quick fix that got my Vultr VirtioFS back online:

Installed Autofs:

Theme:
sudo apt install autofs

Configured /etc/auto.master: Added to the end

Theme:
/- /etc/auto.virtiofs --timeout=60

Created /etc/auto.virtiofs with the magic line:

Theme:
/mnt/default -fstype=virtiofs :89070321

Restarted Autofs:

Theme:
sudo systemctl restart autofs
