Ubuntu 16.10 boots into Emergency Mode

Question

Whenever I turn on my laptop running Ubuntu 16.10, it always boots into Emergency Mode. The only way to get Ubuntu to start successfully is to boot into recovery mode, use dpkg to repair broken packages, and then to resume the normal boot sequence. Pushing CTRL + D just makes the Ubuntu splash screen flash, and then it goes back into Emergency Mode.

Here is the output of journalctl -xb: http://pastebin.com/CLJhR4Vf

Possible duplicate of "Welcome to emergency mode!" Think it is a fsck problem — luk3yx, Mar 29 '17 at 19:58

Do the following and see if it works

Make a bootable USB/DVD and Boot into it.
After the load, open a terminal
type the commands
```
sudo -i
fdisk -l
```
Fdisk will inform you as your partition / (root) called, say for example it is /dev/sdb1, continuous running:
```
umount /dev/sdb1
fsck -y /dev/sdb1
reboot
```
Remove the DVD/USB and boot from the HDD/SDD (whichever is yours)

@AbelTom fsck is just the original class. e2fsck is like extension of it .used for ext filesystem. Can try that too ;) – minigeek Feb 19 '17 at 14:16
