IIRC /dev/mmcblk0p2 is the second partition on the SD card which contains the major portion of the OS and is the Pi's main "storage area". If it can't be mounted then it's likely that your SD card has become corrupted or "too full". Did you always shutdown (eg. "sudo halt" or "sudo -h now" in raspbian - you don't state which OS you're using)? Not doing so and not waiting for the green "ACT" LED to be off can lead to SD card corruption - a bit like not using "safely remove" in Windows.Spa1956 wrote: Hi my Pi was working great , then it started slowing down , it's set for streaming films TV etc , yesterday it booted to the Pi logo , and displayed the following message .

If you're using Raspbian did you use raspi-config's "expand_rootfs" option to ensure you could use all of the SD card's space (without doing this the installed image occupies and uses 1.4Gb or thereabouts)?
Trev.
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm

Hi thanks for replying
The OS I'm using is openelec, I'm not sure about the green light etc , my son in England put the operating system on a 16gb Scandisk sdhc card I didn't realize there was any type of shut down protocol when I'm finished I just unpluged the power supply
my bad ! , so do you. Recommend me to re download the openelec software ? .
Thanks for your help
