The volume primary SSD could not be repaired

Question

My machine is not starting after progress bar. I'm trying to find the problem by booting in single user mode.

I tried /sbin/fsck -fy

It showed me Missing directory record (id = 33899953) The volume Primary SSD could not be repaired

Boot to Recovery HD, open in the menubar Utilities > Terminal. Enter df to get the name of your main volume (e.g. "Macintosh HD").

Enter diskutil verifyVolume /Volumes/Vol_name (e.g. diskutil verifyVolume "/Volumes/Macintosh HD").

Then repair the volume with diskutil repairVolume /Volumes/Vol_name.

If no main volume is mounted try diskutil list, determine the disk identifier of the main volume (e.g. disk0s2) and first enter diskutil verifyDisk /dev/disk0 and repair it if necessary with diskutil repairDisk /dev/disk0, then diskutil verifyVolume /dev/disk0s2 and repair it with diskutil repairVolume /dev/disk0s2.

If your SSD has a CoreStorage Logical Volume Group diskutil repairDisk /dev/disk0 should already repair everything.

If this fails you usually have to use some third-party software like DiskWarrior to repair the volume or restore a (Time Machine-)backup.

For each of them it shows The volume 176 .... 0E appears to be OK and File system check exit code is 0 – Freddy Mar 23 '17 at 06:13
@Freddy Already tried to boot to your main system volume again? – klanomath Mar 23 '17 at 06:15
Yes but that doesn't work....should I try repair? – Freddy Mar 23 '17 at 06:22
@Freddy If diskutil verifyDisk/verifyVolume ...s' exit codes are zero, you are left with the last two options: DiskWarrior or restore a backup... – klanomath Mar 23 '17 at 06:28
