Try running fsck.



*$ sudo touch /forcefsck



then reboot.



Tried but doesn't work.*

Can you please be more specific? What are the results of the fsck? It looks
to me like your filesystem has a bit of corruption.

Can you please be more specific? *What are the results of the fsck? *It looks

to me like your filesystem has a bit of corruption.

I tried the above command and rebooted the system. The system performed fsck at startup, it went through. I assume it passed.

How to manually check if the filesystem has corruption? Do I need to use single-user mode to run e2fsck on umounted /home?

Can you please be more specific? *What are the results of the fsck? *It looks

You are right. I start the system with single-user mode, umounted the /home, and performed e2fsck and fsck manually. It returns lots of errors during checking. Now it looks like everything is fixed.

Thank you guys so much!

Please join the 21st century. It's not 1990 any more. Mail clients

Still, HTML is not welcome on this list. Please see the code of conduct
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct for Debian mailing lists. I
believe the 8th bullet point covers this case.

While it may not convince anyone one way or the other, I simply ignore any
HTML-only email. So, I won't be providing help to anyone using HTML-only
email. I strongly suspect there are others like me on this list as well. To
reach the largest audience, posting in plain-text is preferred.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the list software is dropping
html-only mails
