   You can't expect an fsck on a mounted filesystem to produce any useful output.

   ... and so this is useless, I'm afraid.

   That would be a read-only filesystem, then. Most likely caused by
some serious error on the FS, which caused it to go read-only to
protect itself. You'll have to go back in dmesg to see what happened
to cause that. There's most likely a kernel oops in there at around
the same time that the systemd journal started spewing those errors.

   Hugo.
