Right. That was just to get you out of the catch-22 you were in. You
really should have root mounted ro to fsck, but you have to add device
nodes to actually fsck it, which means you need it r/w. But it's not safe
to write to a damaged fs, so it's not safe to do what you need to do to
fix the fs..

That is the long term fix. :-)
