Thank you very much for your response. I was able to get through the first 2 recovery steps but on step 3, it failed, see screenshot below, with the error: "failure: file system check of the root filesystem failed...requires a manual fsck."
Would you be able to help me attempt doing the manual fsck?
A few follow up questions:
- I would be fine with making a new VM image, but would that delete all of my current files in the VM? I have some processed scans that are not backed up to my windows drive (from now on, I will make sure to back them up knowing this could happen).
- I'll make sure to use the "shutdown signal" button when exiting from now on, as I have always used "power off the machine." Also, I do share a location/path between Windows file system and VM, as this is how I get my processed scans from open science grid (which sends output to windows) onto the VM. If sharing a path between the two could be corrupting the VM, is there another way to get files between them? Also, I am unsure if this is worth mentioning, but the shared path disappears every time I reboot the VM, so I have been just remounting it when I need to fileshare.
Thank you for your time and assistance,
Joanna
