Issue with fsck on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Solution 1:
From the comments...
Do sudo swapoff
and/or unmount any swap partitions. You have to fsck
a partition, not a disk. Use the correct sudo fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p1
. Use sudo fdisk -l
to determine what ext4 partitions you have, and fsck
those also.
boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB in “Try Ubuntu” mode
- open a
terminal
window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T - type
sudo fdisk -l
- identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
- type
sudo fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p1
, replacingsdXX
with the number you found earlier - repeat the
fsck
command if there were errors - type
reboot
