ERROR: Bailing Out - Run fsck manually

Hello folks! This weird error happen today on my remote bare metal device installed on site for supervisor/heating control, it impossible from me fix remotely lol :smiley:

It is old acer pc with old hdd inside it, hope hdd isn’t hard damaged, but my qusetion is if I can teach remote folk by phone to launch fsck manually… very big trouble indeed cause on remote site Linux knowdledge is absolute nothing :kissing_smiling_eyes:

Anyway I try to speaking for something like “you need to type fsck /dev/sda1 ad press enter” of course, but I dont’know why happen next, maybe “you need to type exit and press enter” ahahah lol keep finger crossed guys…

You should be able to run fsck right from that prompt.

With Systemd there is an easy way to do this on every startup. With certain server stories this is probably not always feasible which is due to the long runtimes.
Source:https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-fsck@.service.html
So you can also do everything at startup automatically:

sudo nano /etc/kernel/cmdline

So you can also do everything at startup automatically.
Add at the end of the line:

fsck.mode=preen

At each restart now automatically file system errors are fixed if they are possible.
