During upgrade, disk errors and cant get linode to boot all the way

So there was an issue with mysql server no longer running and it says my server was needing an upgrade for sometime.

I did select an option to upgrade it and when I did i was no longer able to ssh into my drive via my terminal

Support told me to use the launch console and said they saw errors and I would need to run fsck

I did that and it did find errors and it fixed them. Now when I try to boot it gets hung asking for some login. It might be splunk but im not sure and i've rebooted this drive many times in the past and was never required to do this.

Anyway around this or thoughts?

To troubleshoot this situation properly, I think we might need some more information and the ability to run some troubleshooting steps on your Linode.

That said, I wanted to give some steps that I would recommend running, for both yourself and the benefit of anyone coming across this post in a search.

When it comes to issues with SSH, we have a guide that helps you troubleshoot connections. Here's a link to it:

Troubleshooting SSH

For this error:

sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

I found an article on Stack Exchange which gives what looks like a good solution:

Why do I need a tty to run sudo if I can sudo without a password?

Your license is expired. Please login as an administrator to update the license.

From the research I did, it looks like that's the message you get when you have an expired Splunk trial license. I found a conversation regarding this on the Splunk site:

Splunk - License is Expired

Since Splunk is a third party service, and I am unsure of any issues it might be causing in this situation, I wanted to provide a link to Splunk's support:
