[SOLVED] Failure to Boot, Dependency Failed

I dont remeber doing any major upgrade recently, albeit I hadnt boot my machine for a week or so until yesterday.

After booting I received the following error:

[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /home
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Sytem

You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs.

Im not able to boot into the machine

In the journalctl:
/dev/sda3 contains file system with errors
/dev/sda3 inodes that were part of corrupted orphan link list found
/dev/sda3 UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY
fsck filaed with exit status 4

Not sure where to go from here

Re: [SOLVED] Failure to Boot, Dependency Failed

Have you typed "journalctl -xb" to view system logs?  Have you run fsck manually?

Re: [SOLVED] Failure to Boot, Dependency Failed

Obviously, a file system on your machine is corrupted.
Boot your machine with the install ISO and run fsck on /dev/sda3 manually as instructed.
Post the exact commands and output here using a pastebin client, as necessary.

Thanks for the ideas, I had to run fsck -a in partition to fix it interactively via installer OS in the usb.
