or just how to check filesystem and storage for errors … Very good question.

I don’t run Home Assistant OS myself, so I just tested it in a VM.
At the ha > prompt (that you should get when you attach a monitor), type login to get to a root shell.
fsck --help printed out the standard help message, so I think it should work.

So how to check it?
fsck -A
Do not work at all

Google has led me here as the 1st result. I haven’t found an answer here but here is what I can share.

  1. the fsck indeed works in HAAS OS if you
    “At the ha > prompt (that you should get when you attach a monitor), type login to get to a root shell.”
  2. The execution looks like this
    # fsck -AVCM
    fsck from util-linux 2.37.4
    Checking all file systems
    #
  3. Means the tool is working but all the file systems are mounted and therefore can’t be checked by the tool. I have confirmed that with running fsck /dev/sda7 which has returned a message that it is mounted.

From here I have to assume that running this took at the point of time when the OS is up and running is not possible. The only hope I have is that it is being executed on every startup in order to fix issues if any
