Fix if fsck needed

I was able to fix the issue using these steps:

  1. Modify: /etc/fstab

    #/dev/mmcblk0p2  / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/mmcblk0p2  /  ext4 ro 0 1

This should mount the rootfs as read-only on the next reboot.

  1. Reboot system using: shutdown -rF now

  2. Run fsck -fy if the system hasn’t already

  3. Remount the rootfs as read-write using:

    mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p2

We need to do this in-order to complete step 4.

  1. (IMPORTANT) Change /etc/fstab back to normal, thus:

    /dev/mmcblk0p2  / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
#/dev/mmcblk0p2  /  ext4 ro 0 1

If /etc/fstab doesn’t get changed back to normal, then the system will always mount the rootfs as read-only.

  1. Profit.
