-We need to tell the system to not perform the fs
+We need to tell the system to not perform the <color #ed1c24>fsck</color> at boot, and to do this we need to edit the file <color #ed1c24>fstab</color> in the <color #ed1c24>etc</color> directory (this is for CentOS).\\
+\\
+\\
+Open the file in a text editor by using <color #ed1c24>vi /etc/fstab</color>
+\\
+<file>
+#
+# /etc/fstab
+# Created by anaconda on Thu Nov  5 18:45:24 2020
+#
+# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
+# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info

+/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_root /                       ext4    defaults        1 1
+UUID=ce253ff9-86ee-480b-87b3-7efa803bedda /boot                   ext4    defaults        1 2
+/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_opt /opt                    ext4    defaults        1 2
+/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_var /var                    ext4    defaults        1 1
+/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_applogs /applogs            ext4    defaults        1 2
+</file>
+Above we see the contents of the <color #ed1c24>fstab</color> file (your own <color #ed1c24>fstab</color> will differ) and we know that the <color #ed1c24>journalctl -xe</color> was complaining about<color #ed1c24> /dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_var</color>
+\\
+\\
+Each entry in the fstab file has six fields:
+<file>
+                          2                       3       4               5 6
+/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_var /var                    ext4    defaults        1 1
+</file>
+\\
+It is the last number we want to change, and we will change this to a zero, this will mark this partition (and only this partition) to ignore fsck at boot.
+\\
+<file>
+So we will change:
+/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_var /var                    ext4    defaults        1 1
+to
+/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_var /var                    ext4    defaults        1 0
+</file>
+Save this file, and now you should be able to do a test reboot, and the system should boot normally to user login page rather than emergency mode.
