Try fsck --help
then select the options related to recovery and repair the system file
at least twice, then reboot your system with "shutdown -b now"
Based in my experience this occur after shutdown by power fault and not
by command.
The format must be fsck -p -f /dev/partition_name
the flag -p will repair automatically your system and the flag -f force
the revision even the file system appear like clean.
Good luck!!!

Hi.
I'm in bad situation. I have two physical disks. First (DiskA) have
200GB and second (DiskB) have 160GB capacity. On DiskB I have Linux
partitions and some data partitions. On DiskA I had had 40GB NTFS
(Windows) and 160GB NTFS partitions (data), but I already deleted
Windows partition. So, I copied data from 160GB partition on DiskA to
temporary space on DiskB, then I deleted remaining NTFS partition on
DiskA and created one 200GB ext3 partition (I think so. In cfdsik I
chose partition type '83 Linux') and then formatted it 'mke2fs
-j /dev/sdb1'. Then I copied (moved :( ) all the data back to DiskA
and everuthing was fine. It was yesterday. Today I started PC and at
startup init said "Some local filesystems failed to mount". OK, in
/etc/fstab I have "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/zaloha ext3 noatime 0 2" ... it
seems to be good. I also tried to change ext2, but with both 'mount
-a' says:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
In /var/log/messages I found just "VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on
dev sdb1" :((. When I try just 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/zaloha',
at /mnt/zaloha I have mounted that old Windows partition that I
already deleted. Do you know any solution how can I get back my ext3
partition to get back my data please? And what could be cause of this
problem or when I can find what is the cause? Thanks very very much.
You've given lots of words, but very very little information, not even
the commands you used to perform these actions. Without this info it
becomes very hard to help you out.
Meantime, please provide the output of the following commands:
fdisk -l
fsck /dev/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /some/mount/point
and we'll take it from there
