Topic: File system errors after power fail SME 5.5

[dick]

My box hangs when checking the filesystem after a powerfailure.
I get the following message:

/contains a file system with errors, check forced
/:unattached inode 228355

/:UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options            (FAILED)

An error occured during the file system check.
Dropping you to a shell;the system will reboot
when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type control-d for normal startup):


How can I get my box up and running?

.. at this point type in the root password to get to a maintenance prompt.

Execute the command:

fsck /

if the system asks permission to modify the filesystem answer yes.

Once the process is complete run:

sync
sync
exit

This will ensure that all data in memory is written back to the HDD and then the exit command will force a restart due to the maintenance logon runlevel.
