Has your Ubuntu system stopped booting after initiating a hard disk error checking? It isn't uncommon to see a disk error message after a forced shut down or crash or power loss.
When you try to boot Ubuntu, it will begin a disk check which will then give you an error message saying "mount of filesystem failed". The message will also say that a maintenance shell will be started. It will also inform you that Control+D will restart the maintenance shell. The system will then stop giving any message, leaving you with a blinking cursor. What to do next?
