Requiring to write to the content of a filesystem that one suspects to need
a fsck is nothing but a really bad idea.

If legacy filesystems need that fiddling, then they have to provide the
facilities to make that happen. It is not the job of the "init system" to
invent insufficient and conceptually broken work-arounds for missing
features in these legacy tools.
