Consider a fresh Debian installation where I've an exclusive partition to / and another to / home. Later I decided to create with gparted an ext4 extra partition to use as backup of my most sensitive information, to which I didn't assign any function or flag. At first it worked without problems, until from one moment to the other didn't allow me to mount it anymore.
Analyzing the partitions I got
Code: Select all
# fdisk -l
/dev/sda1 2048 923647 921600 450M Windows Recovery
/dev/sda2 923648 1128447 204800 100M EFI System

Error mounting /dev/sda8 at /media/elbraca/Data: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sda8" "/media/elbraca/Data"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: mounting /dev/sda8 in /media/gbraca/Data failed: The structure needs cleaning
The first time I solved the issue by doing
Code: Select all
sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda8
However, after restarting the issue appeared again and it doesn't seem to me to be any more casual. I've never had a problem with GNU Linux partitions, although I've never used an ext4 in this way since I always assign a mount point (/, / home, etc.) and I'm not sure if the root of the problem can come from there. By the way, I haven't used the same solution since I understand it has been a "patch" that didn't completely solve it.
I'm worried about losing the information on that partition, so I hope I can find some permanent solution for this. Has anyone else had this issue?
