[SOLVED] Errr, is my disk dying? Manual fsck - v6.4-6 [Solved]

[SpongeRob]

I've got a Minecraft server running as my 5th VM (105) and according to it's console it's not booted because..

Failure: File system check of the root filesystem failed The root filesystem on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv requires a manual fsck

So googling this brings up the possibility that my drive is dying? Also suggesting to run..

fsck -yf /dev/sda1

However nothing from that post mentioned 'ProxMox' so typically I'm guessing they were talking about Bare Metal install and hence referencing sda1. On my system sda1 is my ProxMox boot drive and my VMs are spanned across sdb1-sdi1. I also need to point out I am a linux noob so be gentle please!

Running the manual file system check on spanned drives (in ZFS pool) only returns with..

fsck from util-linux 2.33.1

So I googled that as well and apparently nothing is happening as this is the wrong command.. Maybe it should be 'fsck -t ext4 -f /filesystem' but at this point I'd rather post on here and rely on the experts please.

Thank in advance,

bump?

Your guest also has a 'virtual disk' - and this is the one that needs checking
from the output you posted it seems that Ubuntu is installed on LVM - and the device-node you need to check is /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

so - try `fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv`

I hope this helps!
