fsck from grub menu, no longer working

[Udvarias Ur]

Ian,

The output from 'mount | grep -i sd' in a terminal on the desktop is …

udvarias at Merry:~$ mount | grep -i sd
/dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/udvarias/Data Drive (DELL) type fuseblk 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2)
udvarias at Merry:~$


The output from 'mount | grep -i sd' in root option of recovery mode is …

/dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)

This output indicates that the root filesystem is automatically mounted 
in 'recovery mode' exactly the same way that it is mounted with a normal 
boot.
