There is an issue but I am having a hard time debugging it. I cannot login on the console. When trying ssh I get:

$ ssh root@192.168.100.250
-bash: /etc/profile: Input/output error
-bash: /root/.profile: Input/output error
Connection to 192.168.100.250 closed.

The gui shell gives: 192.168.100.250 took too long to respond.

according to the gui it is running:
Virtual Environment 6.2-10

on the console I just also saw some disk wardings:
EXT4-fs warning (device dm-o) htree_dirblock_to_tree:997: inode #1313149 lblock 0: comm systemd-tmpfile: error -5 reading directory block.

Any idea how to fix this?

thx,
 
hi,

this is probably why you can't login... it seems your disk might be broken or damaged.
 
Do you have a suggestion on how to check and fix that? If it is not fixable can it be replaced?
 
if you have physical access to the server you should check the drive, you can try booting a recovery ISO with USB stick and see if you can recover anything from there.

of course the drive can/should be replaced but you'll lose any data that wasn't backed up

I already did a fsck in single user mode but that did not do anything. If I dd the drive to a new drive (if possible) might that solve it or would it 100% still contain the error?
