      I did the following as indicated by support:

      Please check filesystem.

      Running a file system consistency check on the SG-1000/SG-1100/SG-3100:

      1. At the SG-1000/SG-1100/SG-3100 console press any key to interrupt the boot loader when you see:

      (I actually did this with ssh and a terminal emulator in pop OS)

      Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.

      At the 'loader>' prompt enter: boot -s

      That will boot in single user mode to a question asking for a path to the shell, just press return to reach the # prompt.

      1. At the # prompt run the following command: /sbin/fsck -y /

      Run the fsck command at least 3 times; Repeat the command until no errors are reported, even if fsck claims the filesystem has been marked "clean".

      1. Reboot by running: /sbin/reboot

      It should boot normally and with no residual long-term issues

      =======

      These are the results I got from the above:

      So, I am not sure what the incorrect blocks error is, it is not specified.

      Also, I do now what what this is:

      SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD

      SALVAGE? no

      FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK

      SALVAGE? no

      BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS

      SALVAGE? no

      Thank you in advanced and I hope this may help someone else.

        @alfaro said in file consistency check - resulting errors:

        [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@firewall01.mylocaldomain]/root: /sbin/fsck -y /

        That is not single user mode.

        To reach single user mode you need to enter boot -s at the loader (OK) prompt like so:

        Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.


Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK boot -s

        That will then bring you to the root prompt where you can run fsck before the filesystems are mounted:

        Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: 
# 

        # fsck -y /
** /dev/ufsid/5cdd3c209fe36da7
** SU+J Recovering /dev/ufsid/5cdd3c209fe36da7

USE JOURNAL? yes

** Reading 11730944 byte journal from inode 4.

RECOVER? yes

** Building recovery table.
** Resolving unreferenced inode list.
** Processing journal entries.

WRITE CHANGES? yes

** 28 journal records in 2560 bytes for 35.00% utilization
** Freed 0 inodes (0 dirs) 0 blocks, and 0 frags.

***** FILE SYSTEM MARKED CLEAN *****

        Run that at least 3 times.

          Thank you for the reply. I have a question about single user mode. I used an ssh terminal to access the device, is there a way to get to single user mode via ssh or will I have to resort to using the serial cable?

          Thanks

            You can only access it at the console. Most of the usual services, like SSH, are not running in single user mode.

              @stephenw10 Thank you again.

              I used the serial cable to access the console but it does not say 'loader'. It says instead: Marvell>>

              When I see: Marvell>> I type: boot -s
              but all I get back is: Marvell>> boot -s
              boot - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd'

              Usage:
              boot
              Marvell>>

              ====
              This where I am unable to get to the single user mode.

              Hoepfully someone will know what might be wrong here

                  type boot and then you should get:
                  loader>

                  there you type boot -s like:
                  loader> boot -s

                  or something. I did it this afternoon but failed to remember what I did exactly. Had the same Marvell prompt. And the above I what I believe I did. I stumbled upon this, and that is what got me through: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/125712/netgate-sg-3100-boot-loop-ufs_dirbad/4

                    Thanks for the reply. If what you did comes back to you please let me know.

                    I tried in a few different ways bit seems like there is no documentation on this prompt which is slightly different.

                    Thanks again.

                      @alfaro try bootd at the Marvell prompt. Does that get you to the loader prompt?

                          @alfaro good luck, It took me a few reboots as well this afternoon and somehow managed to get in to single user mode. You will succeed!

                            @Cornel Hello, same thing. Did a quick loop and asked to press any key to stop boot and I was unable to get to single user mode.

                              @alfaro it might be that you press a key to early. You should wait for “ Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt” this comes after: “ Hit any key to stop autoboot”.

                              Also press space, not enter.

                                If you reach the Marvell>> prompt, which is u-boot, you intereupted it too soon.

                                Look at my console output above. Hit space, or anything but enter, when you see:
                                Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.

                                Then you will be at the bootloader prompt where you can boot into single user mode.
