How to run a full fsck on 32 bit 16.05?
Hi & HELP,
My 32bit 16.05 LTS is locked out. When I tried to boot my computer today, all I got was:
/dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list is found
/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTANCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY (i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with status code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck
BusyBox v1.221 (ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15 ubuntu1) built in shell (Ash)
As a pensioner this is all gobblety-gook to me I fear.
How do I run fsck manually?
Please explain in the simplest terms. I am used to opening the terminal and typing commands, I just need to know which commands to type.
I'm currently booting from an old 12.04 CD in order to get on-line and ask this question.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Richard
