[SOLVED] Unable to to use e2fsck from advanced boot options - Linux Mint Forums
Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 and 22.2. ... Seems like it fails to unmount '/dev/sda2', so it's great that it doesn't continue regardless, else that risks data loss. You could instead try using fsck(8) (research first! IE: man fsck & YouTube) from Recovery Mode, from which you can manually unmount that filesystem, assuming it's automatically mounted.

update-initramfs -u 4. You will probably need to restart your system and use fsck again. 5. I suggest you check hard drive GsmartControl ( there just check log if exist only ) and RAM ( Memtest86 and Memtest86+ ) You can use from live-USB even https://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ 6.

r/linuxmint on Reddit: Won't boot after update.
November 2, 2024 -
My computer running Mint 22 had some updates when I went to use it today. After installing the updates it needed a reboot. When it rebooted I got a blank screen, I forced a restart any it booted. Shortly after it froze and would not respond. I forced a restart and now all I get is a blank screen. When I tell it to boot in to mint it does nothing. If I command advanced options it stops at this and will go no farther. Any ideas to check to try and get it back working?

Did you try what it is telling you? Failure: File system check of the root filesystem failed The root filesystem on /dev/sda2 requires a manual fsck fsck /dev/sda2 optionally fsck -pyf /dev/sda2 (the -pyf means automatically fix anything it encounters if possible and force Yes for any confirmation, but I usually try it without it first to see how bad it is)

How to perform a read-only fsck on mounted boot partition - Linux Mint Forums
December 20, 2024 - If filesystem need to be repaired on deep (when even mounting on read only is not possible), you will end-up on bussyBox/intramfs shell where you will receive a warning with the problem and solution. On that shell it is possible to run fsck -y /dev/sda2 as all is loaded only on RAM on that moment and partition on disk can be repaired.
