I have some RAM that I know for sure is faulty: Memtest86+ reports this as such.
Unfortunately this means that, when I'm forced to restart the machine for an unrelated reason, Linux sometimes incorrectly reports a filesystem issue because of the faulty RAM. Then I'm put into a busybox prompt that forces me to run fsck
which I don't want to do because it will read my disk incorrectly and break it further. However, I have no other options. It prevents me from exiting, and restarting the machine just puts me back into the same prompt. The screen I get is:
BusyBox v1.30.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.30,1-7ubuntu3) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs) exit
/dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.
/dev/sda3: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MRNURLLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with status code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sda3 requires a manual fsck
BusyBox v1.30.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.30.1-7ubuntu3) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
How can I bypass this as a one-off?
