BeagleBone Black - Aborting journal on device mmcblk0p2-8

[Mone]

Good Afternoon,

I am using an image file that is converting any file system into read only, which I understand, is basically corrupting file system. I flash the image on the SD card and run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vim

This is giving the following error:

[  229.949699] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:742: gro  up 17, 86 clusters in bitmap, 0 in gd

 unable to securely remove '//usr/share/doc/python2.7/ACKS.gz.dpkg-tmp': Read-only file system

Looking into /etc/fstab:

/dev/mmcblk0p2  /       auto    errors=remount-ro       0       1
/dev/mmcblk0p1  /boot/uboot     auto    defaults        0       1
# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM

I understand that changing 

errors=remount-ro

to

defaults

would solve the problem. Also, I know that fsck and reboot does solve the issue as well. However, I am more interested in getting to know the root cause of this issue. After reading posts online, I starting doing hardware checks. I am using smartmontools, however, SMART tool does not do health check for eMMC. Is there any way I can check the disk drive health? Also, any ideas/help towards troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I ma moving in the right path for troubleshooting the problem.

Thanks!
