Ok,

So my system recently experienced a power failure during shutdown, thus 
leaving things in a rather odd state.

When i try to reboot it, i have a failure on fscking 
/devices/discs/disc1/part1 (ext3) - it says its already mounted. the 
init system then drops me to single user mode to "repair" it - i have 
to unmount it at that point, and then fsck it. it's completely ok.

The problem is then i reboot, and get the same error.

I tried going to single user mode, but get the same error. I have tried 
removing it from the fstab on disc0/part1, but that is mounted readonly 
because i am in maintenance mode.

so basically, the init system will n ot let me load my system to a 
point where it is functional.

Any tips?
