I run a Desktop PC with Debian 11 and an AMD Ryzen CPU.
It has been running okay, but now I have seen the following message :-
kernel:[2083218.760570] EXT4-fs (dm-0): failed to convert unwritten
extents to written extents -- potential data loss! (inode 394119, error
-30)
This happened when running the Opera browser.
It was subsequently discovered that I could not open the Opera or Chrome browsers,
Firefox could be run but seemed to run in a reduced mode and could not open or download email files.
An attempt was then made to reboot the PC, but this failed :-
The reboot error says:
/dev/mapper/vgpiglit-root contains a file system with errors, check
forced.
Inodes that were a part of a corrupted orphan linked lost found.
/dev/mapper/vgpiglit-root : UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck
manually.(i.e .,
without -a or -p options). fsck exited with status code 4. The root
filesystem on /dev/mapper/vgpiglit-root requires a manual fsck
There is then a flashing prompt after "(initramfs)".
URGENT. Can anyone please help (possibly over the phone) with rebooting the PC.as much work is needed on computer files over the next few days.
Attempts have been made to contact people who might be able to help, but no contacts made. People may be away due to it being a Holiday weekend.

Re: [Software] Data Error Message
Type "exit" without quotes at the prompt then enter
Hopefully it was just an improper shutdown, but a backup and investigation of disc and memory health would be in order.
What internal and external discs do you have?
Code: Select all
fsck -y /dev/mapper/vgpiglit-root

Re: [Software] Data Error Message
I should add that I'm not an expert (except at search-fu). It might be that you run fsck at the initramfs prompt, but this link suggests exit will give you more info. The command I gave should be right for your logical volume.
