Our company is providing customers with a digital signage Kiosk Machine that is running Customized Ubuntu 20.04. Our customers sometimes report that the Kiosk Machine is not booting because they land in the initramfs prompt where it says:
(Initramfs): /dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Inodes that were a part of a corrupted orphan linked lost found.
/dev/sda1 : UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck manually.(I.e .,
without -a or -p options). fsck exited with status code 4. The root
filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck
After doing a manual disk check the Kiosk Machine boots just fine. Can this has something to do with the Kiosk Machine not being shut down properly? Or maybe a disk failure? All the Kiosk Machines have the exact same hard disk and I know that our customers sometimes hard reset the Kiosk Machine which makes me think this is the reason for it. Can this be prevented when we do one fsck every day or once a week? Any advice on how to prevent this would be appreciated.
