Boot ended in busybox - fsck doesnt do anything


Error message

Superblock needs_recovery flag is clear but journal has data
Run journal anyway
Mint 22.1 unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manualy
Fsck exited with status code 4

Ran exit
Mint 22.1: recovering journal
Mint 22.1: Superblock needs_recovery. Flag is clear, but journal has data
Mint 22.1: Run journal anyway
Mint 22.1 UNEXPECTED INCONSISTANCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
Fsck exited with status code 4
The root file system on /dev/nvme0n1p5 requires a manual fsck

I ran fsck -f/dev/nvme0n1p5. IT DIDNT DO ANYTHING

It's probably mounted ro - remount it as rw and try again.

don't forget, you may need to add a space after -f:
Code:
fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p5
