Issue:
Unable to start Ubuntu Desktop normally. One of the secondary drives in /etc/fstab is preventing startup.
Error message during start-up:
/dev/sdb1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with status code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sdb1 requires a manual fsck
...
Control-D or Enter.
Solution:
Pressed <enter> key to get to root prompt. Update the path to the partition described in the error message.
# fsck -fy /dev/sdb1
# reboot
The disk rebooted w/o issue.
Note:
If Ubuntu has an initramfs prompt, the process is the same, but just type exit afterwards.
(initramfs) fsck -fy /dev/sda1
(initramfs) exit
Note, the VM will boot normally afterwards. We do an extra reboot, just to watch it again.
