Emergency Mode after Resizing my Home Partition
I am desperately searching for help.
I have Ubuntu 18.04 running on a SSD with 4 Partitions
sdb1 = linux = system
sdb2 = swap = swap
sdb3 = linux = ~ mountpoint /home
sdb4 = ntfs = Exchange to windows / use the rest pf the space as usb drive
I formated sdb4 and decreased its size. Afterwards I was able to boot ubuntu normally. When I resized the sdb3 from a live usb of gparted, I coudlnt boot ubuntu normally afterwards. Stating it is in emergency mode.
I tried reinstalling grub in gpatted live. For that I mounted sdb1 and ran sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdb
However resulting in a break with error (grub can only be installed in thjs setup by using blocklist).
Do you have a recommendation how I can fix it? I tried the save mode in the advanced grub options but it doesnt seem to work properly since I cant select the options i want after save mode started
I would be relly gratefull if you could help me

This error (grub can only be installed in thjs setup by using blocklist) may be because your disk has GPT (GUID Partition Table). You have to create a 1 MB partition in the begining of disk with flag 'bios_grub'. Now install grub.
sudo grub-install /dev/sdb ### or whichever disk you want to install grub on
The UUID of your partition might have changed, compare the UUID of /home entry in etc/fstab with the output of command:
sudo blkid /dev/sdb3 ### partition that you have resized.
if changed replace with the new UUID.
Run command:
sudo update-grub
and reboot.
