After resizing partition Ubuntu boots in emergency mode
After resizing /home directory on my Ubuntu 18.04 (used Gparted while booting from LinuxMint-LiveCD my Ubuntu boots exclusively in emergency mode. What can I do to fix it?
I ran lsblk in emergency mode, and saw that:
- my /dev/sda3 (/home) partition was unmounted (its size was changed)
- unallocated space presumably still is considered as part of sda device (because sda size is shown as before 931Gb), but not recognized as /dev/sda4 or anyhow.
After mounting /dev/sda3 to the system I am able to start a normal session, but after reboot it happens again.
What can I do to make my Ubuntu boot normally again?

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

I solved the problem in the following manner:
- In the emergency mode, I ran
journalctl -xb | lessand searched for errors.
It appeared that /dev/sda3 couldn't pass control sum check and therefore was refused to be mounted. Fortunately right there was a proposition to run manually fsck /dev/sda3 to fix it.
- I ran
fsck /dev/sda3and, in a while, it fixed the problem.
Since then I didn't have problems booting into Ubuntu.
Less of a good idea, but another thing that may pass for a possible solution, in a similar case, is to change the value of<pass>parameter from 2 to 0 in/etc/fstabfile for the corresponding partition. Then it won't be checked at all byfsckwiki. Probably, maybe handy if certain properties of a partition change very often
– Ivan K.

While I understand what you would be doing if you changed the value of<pass>I would not encourage you to do this. Failing the bootfsckindicates that there is a problem with the file system structure, and proceeding further could place the data stored on your disc in danger.
