Ubuntu

ext4 filesystem failed on ubuntu 14.04 desktop x240 laptop

Asked by admin@zhangqi.net

Hi All,

I am not sure this is a hardware issue or software problem.

I installed the latest ubuntu build 16.04 last week, all works fine to me.

But this Monday when I tried to tune on my laptop the screen suck at black screen and won't start up.
After a cup of coffee time I shutdown it by power button and powered it on again. sadly the system told me "READ ERROR".
As I didn't have any USB stick on hand so I left it till today.
I boot the system to ubuntu live 16.04 and use grub-install command reinstall the boot loader.
I found all file systems could be mounted via live environment so I reboot the system simply after reinstall grub.
Then ubuntu came back.

But this afternoon when I browsing web page I found something wrong with the system. I can't switch input language and filesystem tuned to read only suddenly.
I have no idea how this happen and reboot it. The system gone to busy box and told me filesystem error.
I use fsck to fix all errors on the disk and reboot.
Again the system won't boot up. And I force poweroff and on then go to liveusb and reinstall grub, do fsck again, edit fstab to make disk boot option to defaults insdead of error-remount-ro.
Now I can boot up ubuntu and use it normally.

But I can find error message on syslog. attached below.

Also I use the diagnostics tools provided by Lenovo to check the disk and mother board, memory to see if any error information but all checking passed.

So I am thinking if this is a hardware fail or software issue?

Sounds like a failing drive. You could run an fsck from live CD to make sure the file system is OK but IMHO it doesn't look good.

Actually this is the second hard drive. The first one failed with install both windows/linux operating systems. And I ask IT man to replace it with a brand new disk but still problem occurred. So I am wondering if this is a system level fail like man board or others. But don't know how to diagnosis. May be I should live it to Lenovo.
