Ubuntu 22.04 suddenly won't boot. The message reads:"The root filesystem on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root requires a manual fsck" Can it be saved? If so, how.

  • Is it also encrypted? Old instructions, change to what your scan shows, & do not run the resize commands. https://askubuntu.com/questions/262211/how-do-i-resize-an-encrypted-lvm-to-install-another-copy-of-ubuntu – oldfred Nov 21 '22 at 22:17
  • No encryption. Do I have a disk problem? – Charles Faught Nov 21 '22 at 22:51
  • You have a disk problem, but it may be solvable. Boot into rescue mode, unmount your root filesystem, and run fsck -N /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root (this can take a while). This will tell you what the situation is and what needs to be done, but it won't make any changes. – Jos Nov 22 '22 at 00:10

  • Thanks much, but I replaced the disk and am starting over. Years of stuff...Oh well. – Charles Faught Nov 23 '22 at 05:04
