Hi, My Droplet stopped working after reboot.
I entered Recovery Console via boot from Recovery ISO, Choose 1 and check syslog
“EXT4-fs (vda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)” Is this the bug that causes my droplet to fail to boot from the hard drive?
Please help me.

Hi there,
It looks like your Droplet’s filesystem is mounting correctly, but something might be failing during boot. Try using the Recovery console, then run a filesystem check:
fsck -y /dev/vda1
If errors are found and fixed, exit recovery and try booting normally. Also, check available disk space with:
df -h
If the issue persists, DigitalOcean support can help dig deeper: https://do.co/support.
