Hi, -- Error -- I had the Beaglebone running fine for two and a half years. Then while issuing apt-get update, the file system turned read-only, and the update failed to end well.
-- Analyze -- I issued journalctl -r and noticed the emmc had errors in the device layer, which caused the file system to turn read-only. -- Rent -- (This why I hate Ext4 and such old file systems. I wish we could move on to BTRFS. -- Solution -- So I powered off the beaglebone. I dis-assembled it from its cape. I connected a FTDI serial cable to it and a USB cable. When it booted I saw: > U-Boot SPL 2015.07-rc3-00001-g2c9c20a (Jun 30 2015 - 09:02:07) > > > > > > > > > U-Boot 2015.07-rc3-00001-g2c9c20a (Jun 30 2015 - 09:02:07 -0500), Build: > jenkins-github_Bootloader-Builder-173 > > > > > Watchdog enabled > > > I2C: ready > > > DRAM: 512 MiB > > > MMC: OMAP SD/MMC: 0, OMAP SD/MMC: 1 > > > Using default environment > > ... > oading, please wait... > > > BEAGLEBONE contains a file system with errors, check forced. > > > BEAGLEBONE: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. > > > > > > BEAGLEBONE: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. > > > (i.e., without -a or -p options) > > > fsck exited with status code 4 > > > The root filesystem on /dev/mmcblk1p1 requires a manual fsck > > > modprobe: module i8042 not found in modules.dep > > > modprobe: module ehci-pci not found in modules.dep > > > modprobe: module ehci-orion not found in modules.dep > > > modprobe: module uhci-hcd not found in modules.dep > > > modprobe: module ohci-hcd not found in modules.dep > > > > > > > > > BusyBox v1.22.1 (Debian 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u1) built-in shell (ash) > > > Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. > > > > > > /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off > > > (initramfs) > To fix I ran: (initramfs) fsck /dev/mmcblk1p1 fsck from util-linux 2.25.2 e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) BEAGLEBONE contains a file system with errors, check forced.
