It isn't the first time I have this kind of error. I was using my computer (Ubuntu 3.2) when my file permissions turned to read-only, so I restarted the computer, it wasn't finishing turning on, so I forced to turn it off (hard power off), and I was turning it on again, and I saw this:
/dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.
/dev/sda2: UNEXPECTED INCOSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with status code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sda2 requires a manual fsck
BusyBox v1.27.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu3.2) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)
I wrote fsck /dev/sda2 (with -a because i don't know how to do it without that), I am worried because this is not the first time, maybe the hard-disk is broken or I don't know. Maybe this is not the best place for my problem. Will you tell me what to do? What is it next? I want to learn, so your suggestions are too helpful.
P.D.: Sorry for my English
I wrote fsck /dev/sda2, and the next was:
fsck from util-linux 2.31.1
e2fsck 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018)
/dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Inodes that were of a corrupted orphan linked list found. Fix<y>?
I put y and the screen prints:
Inode 18874440 was part of the orphaned inode list. FIXED
Inode 18874445 was part of the orphaned inode list. FIXED
Inode 18874466 was part of the orphaned inode list. FIXED
And 20 lines of that, the following was
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Block bitmap differences: -(2494976--2495023) - (so many numbers)....
Fix<y>? yes
Free blocks count wrong for group #76 (19099, counted 19147).
Fix<y>? yes
Free blocks count wrong for group #81 (30339, counted=30365)
Fix<y>? yes
Free blocks count wrong for group #1577 (28430, counted=28437)
Fix<y>? yes
...
Finally
/dev/sda2: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/sda2: 541701/61022208 files (0.4% non-contiguous), 18674207/244059136 blocks
After of this, I wrote reboot and the computer came back to work. But this will happens again, and I need stop it.
I need some book to invetigate this, i want to learn why this happens.
Update:
It happens again, when I was using Mozilla Firefox, the files' permissions were turned to read only. Then I restart the pc, and it doesn't finish. I will have to restart it and use fsck again.
