fsck died with status code 4 During boot my laptop says: fsck died with status code 4 The man page tells me: > The exit code returned by fsck is the sum of the following conditions: > > [..] > > 4 - File system errors left uncorrected When I try to repair the errors as root, fsck says that my disk is clean: $ fsck /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1, clean [and some things about available blocks] How can I repair my disk?

Try the -y option.

From fsck manual:

> -y For some filesystem-specific checkers, the -y option will cause the fs-specific fsck to always attempt to fix any detected filesystem corruption automatically. Some- times an expert may be able to do better driving the fsck manually. Note that not all filesystem-specific checkers implement this option. In particular fsck.minix(8) and fsck.cramfs(8) does not support the -y option as of this writing.
