Fixing Linux file system errors after power outage

by

Ubuntu

If the boot process returns a maintenance prompt, type:

fsck -yf /dev/sda1
exit

vCenter Server Appliance

Reboot the virtual appliance, and immediately after the OS starts, press e to open the GNU GRUB Edit Menu.

Locate the line that begins with the word linux. At the end of the line, add:

fsck.repair=yes

then press F10 to continue booting the appliance. This will force the default filesystem check to auto-resolve any issues, and does not require emergency mode.
