Debian Filesystem Repair Guide

Filesystem corruption in Debian can occur due to improper shutdowns, hardware failures, or software bugs. Below are structured steps to diagnose and repair filesystem issues, ensuring data safety throughout the process.

Preparation: Backup Critical Data

Before starting any repair, back up all important data to an external drive or network location. Repair operations (especially fsck) can sometimes lead to data loss if the filesystem is severely damaged. Use tools like rsync, tar, or external USB drives for backup.

Step 1: Identify the Problematic Filesystem

1. Check System Logs: Use journalctl or /var/log/syslog to identify filesystem errors. For example:

   journalctl -xe | grep -i "filesystem\|error\|fail"
   

   Look for messages indicating corrupted inodes, bad blocks, or unmountable filesystems.
2. Verify Mount Status: Run df -h to see mounted filesystems. If a partition is listed as “ro” (read-only), it may have encountered errors and forced a read-only mount to prevent further damage.

Step 2: Unmount the Affected Filesystem

To safely repair a filesystem, it must be unmounted. Replace /dev/sdXY with the correct partition (e.g., /dev/sda1 for the root partition or /dev/sdb1 for a secondary drive):

sudo umount /dev/sdXY

If the partition is the root filesystem (/), you’ll need to boot into recovery mode or use a Live CD/USB to unmount it.

Step 3: Run fsck to Repair the Filesystem

The fsck (Filesystem Consistency Check) tool is the primary utility for repairing Debian filesystems. Use the following commands based on your filesystem type:

For ext2/ext3/ext4 Filesystems:

sudo fsck.ext4 -p /dev/sdXY

• -p: Automatically repair errors without prompting (safe for most cases).
• Replace ext4 with ext2 or ext3 if your filesystem uses a different type.

For Other Filesystems (e.g., XFS, Btrfs):

Use the corresponding tool (e.g., xfs_repair for XFS, btrfs check for Btrfs). For example:

sudo xfs_repair /dev/sdXY  # For XFS filesystems

Force a Full Check:

If fsck doesn’t find errors but issues persist, run a full check with -f:

sudo fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdXY

This forces fsck to scan the entire filesystem, even if it appears clean.

Step 4: Handle Root Filesystem Errors (Recovery Mode)

If the root filesystem (/) is corrupted and you can’t unmount it, boot into recovery mode:

1. Restart your Debian system and hold Shift during boot to access the GRUB menu.
2. Select Advanced options for Debian > Recovery Mode (choose an older kernel if available).
3. When prompted, select Drop to root shell prompt.
4. Remount the root filesystem as read-write:

   mount -o remount,rw /
   

5. Run fsck on the root partition (usually /dev/sda1 or /dev/nvme0n1p2):

   fsck -fy /
   

6. Reboot the system:

   reboot
   

Step 5: Verify Hardware Health

Filesystem errors can be caused by failing hardware. Use smartctl (from the smartmontools package) to check your disk’s health:

sudo apt install smartmontools
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX  # Replace with your disk device (e.g., /dev/sda)

Look for “FAILED” attributes or reallocated sectors, which indicate physical damage. If the disk is failing, back up data immediately and replace the disk.

Step 6: Fix /etc/fstab Configuration Errors

If the issue is caused by incorrect entries in /etc/fstab (e.g., wrong UUID, missing partition), fix the file and reboot:

1. Boot into recovery mode or use a Live CD/USB.
2. Mount the root filesystem as read-write:

   mount -o remount,rw /
   

3. Edit /etc/fstab with a text editor (e.g., nano):

   nano /etc/fstab
   

4. Verify each line matches your disk partitions (use blkid to get correct UUIDs).
5. Save changes and reboot:

   reboot
   

Alternative: Use a Live CD/USB for Repair

If you can’t boot into Debian, use a Debian Live CD/USB to repair the filesystem:

1. Download the Debian ISO from the official website and create a bootable USB.
2. Boot from the USB and select Try without installing.
3. Open a terminal and run fsck on the affected partition (replace /dev/sdXY with your partition):

   sudo fsck.ext4 -p /dev/sdXY
   

4. Reboot and remove the Live USB.

When to Seek Professional Help

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, or if you suspect physical disk failure, contact a data recovery professional. Tools like TestDisk (for partition recovery) or extundelete (for deleted files) can help salvage data, but they work best on minimally-damaged filesystems.

By following these steps, you can systematically diagnose and repair most Debian filesystem issues while minimizing data loss. Always prioritize backups before attempting repairs.
