Sometimes if you have to shut-down improperly or power is missing, it happens that your system doesn't start in the usual way, but in a kind of emergency mode, and you can enter in it by Ctrl D...after that usually you have to make a control on your filesystem using an installation media (DVD or USB key) and running e2fsck at least on your /home. Is it not possible to run e2fsck during the standard boot before filesystems are mounted?? (maybe a stupid question, forgive me and my bad english)
Instead of typing Ctrl-D, enter the root password and you should get a root shell, from which you can run e2fsck. The only time you should need to do that is if the filesystem has damage more serious than can be safely repaired by the automatic fsck. Since you mentioned "e2fsck" I'm assuming that your filesystem is ext2/3/4. If it's actually one of the newer, more exotic types (xfs, btrfs, ...), none of this advice may apply. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
