jolphil Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I just updated with the latest "initfs-tools" and "Nvidia 304 i386 " on my Linux Mint 17 computer. What happened is, I opened Chrome and went on the Google android site when I noticed the hard drive light come on and stay on pretty much solid..I waited and waited for several minutes.My mouse moved but when I left clicked anything nothing responded. I decided to wait for at least 10-15 minutes and discovered whatever was eating my CPU cycles decided to also stop the mouse. I decided to use ctrl+alt+F1 and still nothing happened. After another 5 minutes or so I tried the skinney elephant thing and still nothing with the HDD still thrashing. OK enough is enough..Held the power button and shut it down.. It rebooted but now I tried to run the manual fsck by "sudo /sbin/shutdown -r -F now" and it shutdown/rebooted. fsck Finally my question is how to manually run fsck?

securitybreach Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I was going to suggest that if you could not get into the system, you could always run fsck on the partition using a livecd or chroot in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
