Unfortunately there is no hint from the error message which device has 
the errors. According to the fdisk output, one or several of these 
partitions might have an ext2 fs and could be the culprit: /dev/sda6, 
/dev/sda8, /dev/sda9, /dev/sda13.

I would start from a livecd and use this command in a terminal:

for n in 6 8 9 13;do sudo e2fsck /dev/sda$n -C0;done

That runs the fs check for all these devices and should correct the 
errors.
