Ubuntu rebooted in emergency mode. How to solve the errors indicated without fresh install?

gn flag

After running a heavy docker container, docker stopped responding (15+ minutes for any command, even docker ps -a). So after shutting down everything and checking no one else is logged in, I rebooted the system (workstation with Ubuntu 22.04).

The reboot did not succeed and the system entered emergency mode. With journalctl -b -p err command, I could see the following errors:

kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: [sdd] No Caching mode page found
kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through
systemd-fstab-generator[626]: Failed to create unit file /run/systemd/generator/softs.mount, as it already exists. Duplicate entry in /etc/fstab?
systemd-fstab-generator[626]: Failed to create unit file /run/systemd/generator/softs.mount, as it already exists. Duplicate entry in /etc/fstab?

systemd-fsck[1152]: fsck failed with exit status 4.
systemd[1] Failed to start file system check on /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-</DEV/SDA1 UUID>

In USB live mode, I could access my /home and created a backup. What I was wondering is if its possible to fix these issues without a fresh ubuntu install?

I feel it should be possible. Just a Docker container shouldn't have caused much trouble.

Kindly help.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
