I actually opened the Virtual Disk Image (.vdi) on http://www.vmxray.com/. I could see that despite my disk being of 100GB only ~65GB was being shown. All the stuff related ot the local user was not visible at all. After I restarted my VM, the OS gets stuck here ( http://i.stack.imgur.com/KVYxV.png). Even after trying the single user login it was stuck there. But the emergency mode worked alright.

Hi, I am working on Centos6.6 on a VirtualBox on Windows Host. Today I started to have booting issues in the OS. It won't get past the loading screen. I checked and found that the files related to the user "cloudera" on the system were not accessible. Only the files related to root were accessible. This is why I was am not able to do a single user login but an emergency login was possible. This is just a guess. This all happened due to some update in the Virtual Machine that I use to run CentOS.
Is there any workaround for this issue?
Thanks and regards, Animesh Pandey
I wish you could provide more info.
How can you determine that inaccessibility to a user's files will prevent centos from taking you all the way to the login (or welcome) screen?
I think something else is going on and my guess is that the centos files themselves have been corruped. Can you re-install centos ?
