fsck error on boot: /dev/sda6: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7.
I was browsing on FireFox in Ubuntu and all of a sudden I get some error message, so I rebooted.
Now when I try to boot into Ubuntu I get this message:
fsck from util-linux 2.26.2
/dev/sda6 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/dev/sda6: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.
/dev/sda6: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with status code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sda6 requires a manual fsck
Busybox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs) _
How can I fix this?

Have you been able to find out the root cause? I experienced exactly the same issue two times within two days using Kubuntu 16.04. Is this some software problem or an indication for defective hardware?

@Silicomancer, I had this, and other related issues, and it seems quite likely to be related to a failing hard drive. I know my hard drive failed some of the S.M.A.R.T diagnostics right around when this problem occurred. Sometimes a manual 'fsck /dev/sdaX' would fix it, but other times the problem wouldn't be resolved and I'd get a kernel panic on the next boot. I've got a new HD in the mail.

Try this:
fsck /dev/sda6
(where /dev/sda6
is the partition mentioned)
And enter Yes (y) to for each error. Or press a one time for always-yes.
Then reboot and it should be fine.

Ok, so run fsck -a /dev/sda6 and enter Yes to all errors.

Reboot linux, and if all looks good from the booting, then you should go to the apt-get again. If puts you again to busybox terminal, runfsck -a /dev/sda6
and repair the errors.

I have noticed that even if you do a fsck
on the disk the problem may occur again in a few days.
I have found that the problem is worse on SSD disks than the regular HDD disks. I have found some steps that may fix the problem temporarily.
fsck -fy /dev/sda1
if sda1
is the right partition - the prompt will tell you exactly which one requires fsck.
After that if the systems boots up you may have another problem with the package management system, so if you open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update
you may get an error. Do not worry. Run these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
My opinion is that there is serious problem in Ubuntu with regard to SSD disks. The community should fix it.
I have found a possible cause of this problem: Probably the system did not shutdown normally.
After the fsck command type he command exit to force the system to boot again in runlevel 5 or just reboot with init 6.! Your choice.!

@Silicomancer, I had this, and other related issues, and it seems quite likely to be related to a failing hard drive. I know my hard drive failed some of the S.M.A.R.T diagnostics right around when this problem occurred. Sometimes a manual 'fsck /dev/sdaX' would fix it, but other times the problem wouldn't be resolved and I'd get a kernel panic on the next boot. I've got a new HD in the mail.
