IO Error, Bad Block / Superblock

  • first boot into live disk/usb
  • use smartmontools
  • make sure smart mode is on using smartctl
  • figure out which /dev/sdX partition has bad blocks
  • perfrom fschk -y /dev/sdX
  • see if /dev/sdX can be mounted using mount

Make sure you aren't doing fschk from initrmfs screen which is a fallback screen in case of kernel panic
