Solution

  • I found solution from this post

    Boot the Mac into Single User Mode by holding down Command+S during system boot. write,

    fsck -fy

    Once fsck completes, if you see a “File system was modified” message, you need to run again,

    fsck -fy

    After that you need to run,

    reboot
