System stuck on checking file system

Harry Herring

My system had some downtime because of a power outage, now when i try and turn it on, it talks about doing some kind of file system check, takes seconds on "config" and "signatures" but takes forever on "report partition", then after a while the screen goes blank and i need to hit the power button to get it to pop up again. it is installed on a 750gb drive so is it just a case of waiting? if so for how long as it's still stuck after 12 hours (I left it overnight)

I really need it up asap, is there any way to force it to skip the file system check?

    Hi Harry,

    sounds bad. Do you have a recent backup and copy of the XG software, it will be quicker to perform fresh install. Also you will find out if the disk is damaged.

    No and no to be honest, i spend most of my time at school so can't babysit the machine much. Is there any way to recover the configs?, then i can do a fresh install onto an ssd that i've got hanging around

    You could take the disk out and run a check disk. If you can't get the XG started then you can't access the file system to recover a config.

    In future you need to ensure you get a a back up at least weekly emailed to you.

    The machine does not need babysitting, just a good reliable power supply, try for a small UPS just to handle the surges.

    How complex were your firewall rules that would take you so long to rebuild the XG from scratch?
