LightSail Site not coming back up after AWS maintenance

Question

My site went down after AWS maintenance and hasn't come back up. I stopped and started the service. I can not ping the public IP. I have this error in the /var/log/messages file:
FAT-fs (xvda15): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

I can't get fsck to do anything except return this:
fsck from util-linux 2.33.1
but it's not actually doing anything

Any help would be appreciated. Some specific command to run or something to look for.

Thx,
Mike

Hello.  
It is possible that the Lightsail disk is not reading properly.  
If snapshots are still available, it is better to restore from snapshots.  
https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/lightsail-how-to-create-instance-from-snapshot

For example, it would be possible to identify the disk used by Lightsail with the following command.  
```
sudo fdisk -l
```
If you can identify it, it may be possible to fix it by repairing it with the following command and then restarting Lightsail.  
Note that it is recommended to unmount the disk when executing "sudo fsck -f".  
```
sudo fsck -f /dev/devaice name
```
Please create a snapshot of Lightsail before executing the above command.
