If our EC2 server are giving error like below :-



General error mounting filesystems. 

Root caused:-

• Detached or failed Amazon EBS volume.
• Corrupted filesystem.

Instance store-backed:-

Use the following procedure: 

1. Stop the instance.

3. Attach the root volume to a known working instance.
4. Run filesystem check (fsck –a /dev/...). 
5. Fix any errors. 
6. Detach the volume from the known working instance. 
7. Attach the volume to the stopped instance. 
8. Start the instance. 
9. Recheck the instance status. 

B. If server is Instance store-backed:-
