I have had 18.04 running on my laptop for a good 6 months. Yesterday, I wiped the entire drive and installed 20.04. It ran fine for about 24 hours, then this screen popped up and I had to hard reboot. Any idea what this means?
Upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and am seeing a file system failure

G'day @Tanz0rz and welcome to linux.org
1. Does that mean it is working now, or is the problem repeating itself to the exclusion of being able to use your Ubuntu?
2. Can you go to Terminal and type and enter the following and report back the figure at the bottom left of the output? My comments are prefaced by a hash.
Code:
du -ah /var/log/j
#and follow that j with a tab, it will autocomplete the word journal followed by a forward slash and a long number.I have to head off soon for my evening in Australia so allow for timezones.
Cheers

A total reformat is an option, but I don't want to do that unless I need to :/
The problem only happened once, but I am using this as a 100% uptime server. I can't have it crashing.

Type this in the terminal:
If you see any input/output disk errors most likely that your hard drive is failing.
You can also install smartmontools to then check the status of your hard drive:
Code:
dmesg | grep sdaYou can also install smartmontools to then check the status of your hard drive:
Code:
sudo apt-get install smartmontools
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
