*Debian GNU/Linux: fsck exited with status code 4

#1 Post by Diamond_Cat »

My Debian GNU/Linux computer no longer boots up, it turns on and show the following error page. I would be very thankful to anyone who could help me figure out how to get it running again.

Loading, Please wait...
/dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/dev/sda1:
Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.

/dev/sda1: UNEXPEcTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with tstatus code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck
modprobe: module ehci-orion not found in modules.dep


BusyBox v1.22.1 (Debian 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Did you try running 'fsck' manually, like it tells you to do ?

Quite often that will repair the problems.


Also it would help to know what version of Debian, etc.

My Debian Version: Gnu Grub Version 2.02~beta2-22+deb8u1

How do you run the fsck manually? (tying "run fsck" does nothing, and "fsck run" just tells me "fsck from util-linux 2.25.2").

just
fsck /dev/sda1
in single user mode
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.

Thank you both very much.

If anyone has this same issue, for the record, after the manual fsck, I hit Y (yes) to all of the fixes it offered.

Your welcome, glad it worked, sorry I forgot to mention there would be the choices yes or no,
and that is what I do , just select yes each time,...
Hopefully this does not occur again for some time, if ever,..if it does keep occurring often , that indicates there are some other more serious problems that need to be figured out.
