- tyingq 6y agoYes, "won't boot" meaning the root filesystem isn't recoverable, can't fully boot without that. You could have, for example, a working /boot, but a dead /. In that case, the kernel will boot up and then panic when it can't mount root. A bad mbr is also possible, for reasons unrelated to any filesystem. And a journaling filesystem doesn't always help with drive errors, etc. I was trying to scope down to filesystem issues due to an unorderly shutdown, where the disk drive itself is fine.
