      Thank you BuZz !!

      Do you know if/how can I fix that?

      Or I am doomed having a image that is corrupted and need to re-do five months work from scratch?

      The strange thing is that I am encountering it only when I have to deal with this golang library..

        make sure you have a backup

        then from terminal

        sudo touch /forcefsck

        and reboot.

        if you get the error again, it''s likely your sd card is faulty or fake (smaller than it claims to be). Can test it on a PC with something like https://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/

          Unfortunately the forcefsck did not fix the issue.

          Also the h2testw found the card OK:

          Warning: Only 29811 of 29812 MByte tested.
          Test finished without errors.
          You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
          Writing speed: 18.4 MByte/s
          Reading speed: 18.9 MByte/s
          H2testw v1.4

          So it remains a mystery...

              @Pyjamarama shameless suggestion that surely won't solve your problem: change the topic title to something like "corrupted file system - my source of problems" or "how can I recover a corrupted file system?".
              It's just a way to improve the forum quality... ;-)

                I got your shameless suggestion and did a shameless title rename hahahahahaha

                Anyway it is strange that I get this when this golang thingy is involved...

                    do you have another linux machine? It can help if you plug your SD card on another linux and google about "repair corrupted file system linux fsck".

                    Two links that might be useful:
