You're using LVM for your file system partitions, nothing to do with
systemd.
You just need to run "e2fsck /dev/mapper/fedora-root" to fix the file
system.


There will be a reason the filesystem got corrupted.   Is it spinning media
or solid-state?  Check that there is free space available.   While booted 
from a "live" USB drive you can install smartmontools, then use smartctl 
to check drive health and run the self-tests.   Installs/updates are stress
tests for mass storage devices so apparently healthy drives can develop
probelms.
