I have a problem while loading into Ubuntu 17.04. This happens for the 2nd time after I booted into Windows. For the 1st time I just reinstalled the Ubuntu. I am not good at this question, so I hope to get a full list of steps to diagnose and resolve this issue. Error stack

As a workaround e2fsck -b <Magic number> <device> has been used.

Here is the output of fdisk -l and it is seems fine to me:

  • Another person had this problem a few days ago. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/367700/… Can you check if your partitions are overlapping? Commented Jun 1, 2017 at 15:51
  • @MarkPlotnick thanks, I checked that. I didn't found any of overlapped partitions. I've repaired the system by running e2fsck <Magic Number> /dev/sda7 and e2fsck <Magic Number> /dev/sda7. But, I want to get the root cause of this behavior. Nothing extraordinary was done last time. And I'm using the same disk partitioning that I used before on Ubuntu 16.04, excpt that I've resized the partitions. Commented Jun 1, 2017 at 20:48
  • Today after booting into Windows I tried to load Ubuntu and got the same error. Never happened to me before. I've had dual-boot for years and it's worked perfect. Commented Jun 27, 2017 at 9:30

As I have tried the solution in the main answer for a superblock problem I simply got the same error.

My problem was that my Ubuntu system would not boot (under a multi-boot scenario) and couldn't be mounted from a different Linux system. In a live session gparted reported bad superblock.

I have followed this solution here, but the first step was enough for me.

In a live environment I did something like:

sudo fsck.ext4 -v /dev/sda6

which reported the same problem but also offered to fix. I selected "y" for "yes" several times and then "a" (fix all I guess).

Everything worked after that, but only until the next Windows (7) boot. The culprit in my case was the Windows program ext2fsd - as said here - and removing that fixed this.

I've found solution here

64bit and metadata_csum features should be disabled

sudo tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum,^64bit /dev/sdXX

  • (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) tune2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020) Please run sudo resize2fs -s /dev/sdXX to disable 64-bit mode. Commented Sep 22, 2020 at 22:18
