Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File system

Hello,

Following a power outage, my computer shut down completely.
When I turned it back on, I was greeted by a lovely black screen displaying the following messages:

Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File system
Failed to mount /var/cache
Dependency failed for Local File Systems
Failed to mount /var/log
Dependency failed for Flush Journal to Persistant Storage
Dependency failed for Record System Boot/Shutdown in UTMP
You are in emergency mode

I use systemd and dracut.

Thank you for helping me.

Re: Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File system

either boot the arch iso and rescue your file system by chrooting and checking their health (fsck)
or boot gparted and do it in gui
