[SOLVED] Not able to boot due to Inode seems to contain garbage

Recently, I have experienced the failure to boot, due to the mounting problem. The following is the journalctl log

Apr 06 08:10:04 mylaptop systemd[1]: Starting File System Check on /dev/disk/by-uuid/a09a7384-545b-4230-a550-1b25362bd8ed...

Apr 06 08:10:17 mylaptop systemd[1]: local-fs.target: Triggering OnFailure= dependencies.

After login as root and run "fsck /dev/sda3", and fixes all prompts. Then the reboot is success. But it happens twice within a week.

I always shutdown the computer using "systemctl poweroff" through oblogout.

Does anyone know whether this issue is caused by OS level? Any related bug reports (I searched, but didn't find related issue).
Or it is a symptom of harddisk failure?

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to boot due to Inode seems to contain garbage

Possible explantions include
- a parallel OS (windows?)
- bad trimming (cron job or discard option)
- FS bug (ext4 or sth. more exotic?) or
- the drive is falling apart (smartctl -a)

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to boot due to Inode seems to contain garbage

Sounds like disk failure to me. Run a long SMART test and then post the output of 

smartctl -a

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to boot due to Inode seems to contain garbage

Despite 

# 1  Extended offline    Completed without error       00%      9561         -
  5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   0x0033   098   098   036    Pre-fail  Always       -       728

looks scary.

I'd not trust the drive nor its self-testing capacity, boot grml from a usb key, secure all valuable data immediately and run a (non-destructive) badblocks test.
(The destructive test is much faster, but the drive is blank afterwards, so if the reallocated sectors are a red herring - what is unlikely, but not impossible - you saved some time on badblocks to waste some time on re-installation.
If you can, you could also dd_rescue clone the entire drive onto a new one and if the drive turns out to be still good, but empty after a destructive test, you can just swap them.
