[SOLVED] /dev/mapper/<dm>: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY

I'm trying to boot my system from multiple machines using only a USB. I have a PC & MacBook Pro. When I have built & configued my system correctly from my MacBook Pro, I have tried to boot it from PC as well to make sure the boot process has no errors.

Booting from MacBook Pro is completely fine (1st boot). After that, I have tried to boot from a PC and the boot process is also fine (2nd). However, when I went back to MacBook Pro to boot my system again (3rd boot), I get an error:

systemd-fsck: /dev/mapper/<dm_name>: Superblock last mount time (Tue Dec 3 15:25:41 2013,
systemd-fsck: now = Sat Jan 19 18:29:54 2013).
systemd-fsck: /dev/mapper/<dm_name>: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
systemd-fsck: (i.e., without -a or -p options)

I did run fsck and it says:

fsck from util-linux 2.24
e2fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
/dev/mapper/<dm_name> is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.

However, when I just run reboot, the error has disappeared but everytime I switch to PC and then go back to MacBook Pro, I get that error and it disappear after I reboot.

Can anyone explain to me why I get that error? is the problem related to time configuration? how to configure it so that it wont get that error again.

I appreciate your help :)

Yes, it's related to time config. Apparently, the clock on your PC is correct but the clock on your Mac is very incorrect (Jan 2013). You need to synchronize the clocks.
