Hello, thank you for accepting my registration, I am a beginner in linux, and I installed it on my pc it's been a year. I had a problem that forced me to reinstall the whole system recently now there is another problem that it pauses. When I turn it on the pc here is the message that appears:
File system check failed
Please run fsck manually, after leaving this maintenance shell, the system will reboot automatically
sh: can't access tty ; job control turned off.

[rootfs]#


Please help me solve the problem. I do not want to reinstall the whole system again and lose all my data (I use both Windows 10 and linux on the pc) and now I'm on Windows.

I don't think you'll need to reinstall your whole system. fsck is a file system checker, like CHKDSK in Windows. Distros normally do it every boot. For some reason your system wants you to do it manually. This is not a massive cause for concern [though I do wonder why it happened].

What would be useful is to know which distro you are using.

Also I get the feeling you are not posting the whole error message. Can you post the whole message? It may just be a simple matter of running

where /dev/sdXX

is the partition that needs checking.

should tell you which partitions your system uses and their labels. You can post the output in this thread.

Have a look at this and report back with any questions:

Three things you need to know for the future:

1) Linux error messages are often very helpful and informative, so read them carefully. If an error message tells you what to do to attempt to solve the problem, then do it. If that doesn't work, then ask for help. A suggestion to run fsck usually means that there is a filesystem corruption on the root partition.

2) When you do ask for help, give your post an informative title. "Help question" is useless. Of course it's a help question, why else would you be posting it? Something like "Can't boot <distro name>; possible disk corruption" would be more useful to us. And always tell us the name of the distribution and the release name or number.

3) I doubt if you will need to reinstall your system. That is almost never necessary in Linux. When Linux goes wrong, it can usually be fixed with a bit of detective work.

Hello how are you?

Forgive me for having misrepresented my problem, I have not understood, actually as you had listed there are actually error messages that have been posted and I am correcting them. when I'm finished I'll give you a sequel.

Thank you and all my apologies
