[SOLVED] Bootup failed - fsck error

My new Lenovo laptop is a few weeks old; been using it daily. Debian bookworm OS. Bootup fails with the following:

/def/nme0n1p2 contains a file system with errors, check forced. Inode 23593190, end of extent exceeds allowable value (logical block 13, physical block 3135496, len 1) /dev/nvme0n1p2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALY. (i.e., without -a or -p options) fsck exited with status code 4 The root filesystem on /dev/nvne0n1p2 requires a manual fsck BusyBox v1.35.0 (Debian 1:1.35.0-4+b3) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

ls /
returns the boot directory. /home is not one of the listed directories.

What happened when you ran fsck as suggested in the error message? Did you do it? The site at the link below explains fsck and options.

Your message refers only to the 2nd partition on the drive. Are there other partitions showing from running parted or fdisk? What are they? Do you have a separate /home partition which you created during the install? Do you have a separate /boot partition as well as an EFI partition? Did you do an LVM install?

If I am reading the error thread correctly, the bootup sequence ran fsck.

fsck exited with status code 4

I did run

fsck /

I installed Debian as a single partition. A cursory examination finds that everything on the root file system is intact, except that "/home" is not listed.

The proper command is:

fsck /dev/nvne0n1p2

Once the command finishes successfully (hopefully) enter the command

exit (and press enter key)

The system should then reboot.

Success!
Thank you.
