This can be caused by the `pop-upgrade` command checking for an `/etc/fstab` file and finding an entry that it does not understand. If you have manually added drives to your fstab, adding a '#' to comment out the drive while the upgrade is ongoing should work. You would then remove the comment after the upgrade is complete to have access to those drive paths again. To edit this file, run the following command in a terminal:

# Before You Upgrade

## When Should I Upgrade?
2930

30-
Every release of Pop!\_OS is thoroughly tested and undergoes an extensive quality assurance (QA) process, including the upgrade system itself. In almost all cases, the upgrade from an existing release of Pop!\_OS to a newer release is a smooth transition that takes only an hour or so to complete (depending on download speeds and the speed of the components in the system you are upgrading).
31+
Before upgrading, it can be helpful to ask yourself the following environment questions:

That being said, from time to time, unexpected complications can arise. The liklihood of complications during the upgrade process increases on systems that are:

1. **Do I have a backup of my data (see next section).**
34+
- YES? - Proceed.
35+
- NO? - Make a Backup.
36+
2. **Is this a mission critical machine?**
37+
- YES? - Wait until upgrading will not stop work.
38+
- NO? - Proceed.
39+
3. **Do I have a backup/alternate machine if this one goes down temporarily?**
40+
- YES? - Proceed.
41+
- NO? - Make a backup, assess your comfort level, proceed if comfortable.
42+
4. **How recently was this upgrade issued? Have any stability issues been reported?**
43+
- YES? - Wait a week (or two), check again, then upgrade.
44+
- NO? - Proceed.
