Hey guys I was so overwhelmed while trying to get answers I skimmed through @naisanza 's link (Splunk Enterprise does not start due to unusable filesystem). And fixing the problem looks fairly simple. HOWEVER, the manual does warn me that if I "bypass filesystem checks" then "irrevocable data loss can occur".
This leads me into a three part question;
1) What does this mean? Could someone explain what "bypass filesystem checks" and what "irrevocable data loss" is?
2) Should I be concerned about doing this? I am in no way a professional in the field, I just heard this program (Splunk) was used for cyber security. So losing some data would be okay/not okay in my case?
3) As a novice in the cyber security field, should I even be bothering with Splunk? I have plans on doing the Splunk Bootcamps btw. I am really passionate on learning about programs like Splunk and others.
Thanks, I will be in debt for your help and guidance.
