[Solved] Linux showing "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY ; Run fsck MANUALLY"

[Tonmoy12]

Hi itsfoss Community,
Hope you can help me out. So yesterday after I switched on my laptop. A screen is appearing which is saying about corrupted orphan list & to run fsck manually.

What should I do?

Try this command:

fsck /dev/sda2 -y

and see if it works on next reboot.

It worked. Thanks a lot

Happy to be of help

If you look closely on the error message, it suggested to run the same command
