Following shut down or power loss, Fedora fails to boot and prints the following (transcribed to the best of my ability):
Naturally, I tried fsck and the magic words seemed to be "fsck -f /dev/sda1". That printed the following:
And then, upon exiting, Fedora boots up fine. However, the problem continues to occur every time I power off (obviously, this occurs upon powering back on) or after my battery dies (whether that occurs during suspension or while still running).
df -h /dev/sda1 returns the following:
Therefore, I guess sda1 is mounted on boot. I don't know if that's normal.
The problem seems to have begun a few months ago after I removed the battery briefly during a stalled boot which I interpreted as a freeze (during which the power button wasn't having any effect). Once I turned it back on, the headache started.
EDIT: The solution was divined here.
