What Causes a File System to become Broken?

772

Recently one of my drives refused to mount, showing the error message below:

Now luckily I was able to fix this thanks to another question on Ask Ubuntu that you can find here: "Structure needs cleaning" error - cannot mount partition

Basically I just had to fix the system, I entered the command:

sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda[NUMBER]

Just as stated in the answer to that post. That worked and everything in my drive is restored.

My question is however: How does something like this happen in the first place? I would like to know so that I can try and prevent this happening again in the future.

I'll give my setup as a guide to what I might have done wrong. I am using Ubuntu Studio 19.10. This hard drive isn't my boot drive, and neither does it contain my home partition. I have it set to mount on boot. I did this by enabling it in GNOME Disks. The drive is also formatted to ext4.

Even though I am using Xfce, I primarily use Nemo as my file manager, not Thunar.

I have it's status set to appear in my Conky, but aside from that it only gets used when I specifically run, open or save things in it. I never dismount it. When I shut my system down I just hit shutdown and normally everything is fine.

So what would cause an error like this? Is it just bad luck? Or is it something that I am doing?

Feel free to ask questions if I haven't been specific enough.

Thank you in advance :)

What causes a file system to become broken?

improper dismounts
access from a foreign OS (ie: Windows driver)
disk (pre)failure
main memory failure
stuff just happens (infrequently I hope)

Most common way to resolve broken file systems?

For 18.04 or newer...

boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
type sudo fdisk -l
identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX, replacing sdXX with the number you found earlier
repeat the fsck command if there were errors
type reboot

note: or dismount live HDD/SSD and sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX

In your /etc/fstab I'd recommend...

changing:

/dev/sdb        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
LABEL=LinuxHDD /mnt/LinuxHDD auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=LinuxHDD 0 0

to:

# sdb used by HDD/SSD, floppy disks probably auto mount on insertion
# /dev/sdb        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
#
# added boot time fsck (see 2 at the end of line)
# prefer UUID=44417cbc-3321-43b1-9487-119740d01959 over LABEL=LinuxHDD
UUID=44417cbc-3321-43b1-9487-119740d01959 /mnt/LinuxHDD auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=LinuxHDD 0 2

and adding mounts for the other two ext4 disks, and ending the line in "0 2"

Update #1:

What does ending the disks with "0 2" actually do?

From man fstab...

  The fifth field (fs_freq).
          This field is used by dump(8)  to  determine  which  filesystems
          need  to  be  dumped.   Defaults  to  zero  (don't  dump) if not
          present.

   The sixth field (fs_passno).
          This field is used by fsck(8) to determine the  order  in  which
          filesystem  checks  are  done at boot time.  The root filesystem
          should be specified with a fs_passno of  1.   Other  filesystems
          should  have  a fs_passno of 2.  Filesystems within a drive will
          be checked sequentially, but  filesystems  on  different  drives
          will  be  checked at the same time to utilize parallelism avail‐
          able in the hardware.  Defaults to  zero  (don't  fsck)  if  not
          present.
