The second major group of system failures consists of various file system corruptions and outright mistakes. It is conceivable that an untimely power failure could corrupt files vital to booting even a rudimentary system. Perhaps more likely is that such files get altered or deleted by an overuse of the root account. There are many ways that a Linux system could become damaged, but in the end if the system becomes unbootable, you need to somehow recover from the emergency.

Files and entire directories may get damaged or deleted over time. Mistakes and misfortunes do happen, so you need to know how to handle them. The following sections describe some of the options you have after the system fails to boot, files or file systems get corrupted, or you forget the root password.
