I've got a dual-boot of Ubuntu and Windows and due to some file system inconsistency Ubuntu won't load. It always runs a file system check and then switches to emergency mode. This is a list of errors from the journal:

-- Logs begin at Čt 2016-10-20 16:27:28 CEST, end at Čt 2016-10-20 16:29:24 CEST. --
kernel: Error parsing PCC subspaces from PCCT
systemd-fsck[506]: fsck failed with error code 4.
systemd[1]: Failed to start File System Check on /dev/disk/by-uuid/115d2332-e953-48a1-a0c8-05fef157d207.

Trying to fix the Error Parsing PCC Subspaces I've disabled hiberboot in Windows but it didn't help.

I've also tried the most voted suggestion in this thread with no success: "Welcome to emergency mode!" Think it is a fsck problem

Fsck said: 

/dev/sda1 clean

Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition table entries are not in disk order.

Would you know about any solution to this?

EDIT:

After fsck on sda4, it seems to work fine.

blkid output:

    Why 2 Linux partitions? root and /home? You need to fsck sda1 AND sda4. Add the output of sudo blkid or cat /etc/fstab to your question. Let me know how it goes. Cheers, Al – heynnema Oct 20 '16 at 20:08
  • I had this same exact error. I had to reinstall the OS from a USB stick, then I changed my partition 2 to ext4, and it worked for me. – Jar Wolf Oct 20 '16 at 13:10
  • Al, thanks a lot for your advice. I didn't realize sda4 should be also checked. It's an extra partition for specific files shared with Windows but I think I will have to think about other ways because this seems to cause errors.. I've updated my post with blkid output. – tomas Oct 23 '16 at 10:17
  • @DavidFoerster OP says they tried that. – TheWanderer Nov 01 '16 at 18:35
  • @Zacharee1: Yes, but according to the comments it turned out that OP misinterpreted the answer(s) to that question originally by running fsck on the wrong partition. Once he picked the right partition all went according to plan. – David Foerster Nov 01 '16 at 19:33
