i tried theodore's debugfs commands, at boot the fsck happens during the splash screen and then when it fails i am taken to a prompt (though it is not very clear as there is no # or $) see attachment.
is there any reason that "Inodes that were not part of a corrupted orphan linked list found" errors might be treated differently? ** Attachment added: "fsck.jpeg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13099687/fsck.jpeg -- fsck not repairing corruption on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
