I'm running Devuan on my Samsung 250 GB nvme and today when booting up the distro boots to an all black screen with white letters complaining that there was a unexpected inconsistency and that fsck will have to be ran manually.
I did some reading and I understand that the drive can not be mounted and there are several ways to handle this. And the fsck can be scheduled as well for the next boot.
From Grub I could enter Rescue Mode and run fsck OR> I could boot into Slackware or my Debian 12 Mate install and run fsck as well.
Devuan is installed on /dev/nvme0n1.
This is a triple booted system on an Asus Tuf Gaming custom built desktop. Here's the other 2 HDD's.
Debian 12 Mate is installed to the 1 TB HDD /dev/sdb and Slackware is installed to the WD /dev/sda
This has never been my experience in 10 plus years of running Linux..... so I'm asking what is the best approach?
Thanks in advance- Alex
