-We need to tell the system to not perform the fsck at boot, and to do this we need to edit the file fstab in the etc directory (this is for CentOS).\\
+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

+/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.
