/home is not being mounted on boot

Support

Tonight I’ve left my PC in sleep mode and when I came back to it in the morning and tried to save a project I got an error that the filesystem is in read only mode. I rebooted and I was put in emergency mode.
The error message I was prompted there:

[FAILED] Failed to start File System¤d-5a86-4a35-affe-138269d28d43.
[DEFEND] Dependency failed for /home.
[DEFEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.

I ran lsblk and my /home wasn’t mounted, so I mounted it, checked the fstab (which was correct), exited and my system booted. I rebooted again to test it and I got the same errors. My fstab is still correct but for some reason I have to manually mount my /home in emergency mode. Any ideas?

What is the content of the fstab ? Cuz this error looks pretty straight forward
(besides that it has an odd appearance/formatting/location)

In addition add output of

sudo blkid

This is the output of lsblk -f (note that my /home is mounted as I am currently using the machine and mounted it manually in the recovery mode):

This is the content of the fstab:

The file system on my /dev/sdb4 (mount point of /home) was corrupted. Running fsck.ext4 /dev/sdb4 solved the problem.
