During the reboot, Linux indicated an fsck had not been run for over 300? days and an automatic fsck was being initiated. It now appears the filesystem was not happy. I am new to Linux and have no idea how to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Not sure why /dev/sdk1 had been inserted but it appears the system had never been booted since fstab was updated. Perhaps /dev/sdk1 is a reference to a USB device that is no longer is connected.
