Please help,
After a huge power failure and a battery backup that did not last long enoufe, I am trying to reboot a linux server that is giving me the Unexpected Inconsistency error. Then it wants me to run fsck manually. However when I do this it is making me type in fsck then -y for every file instead of just fsck once then multiple -y. Is this how it should be? Plus I have done this to over 5000 files and did a reboot and it still comes up with the error. What could you recommend that I do. I am very new to this so sorry if i did not explain it right.
Thank you for any help
 
It sounds like your filesystem could be corrupted from the power outage. Try running "fsck" with the "-a" option so that it doesn't prompt you to repair every file.
