ffs noob.

1. boot backupmenu and use either serial console/USB networking to access the device then fsck.

2. boot some linux live cd like gparted, backup menu to enable USB mode.

3. boot the device in offline mode, leace it to settle for around 4 minutes, run fsck and ignore warnings about fsck'ing a mounted disk. As long as no programs are running, you can usually get away with it.

4. power kernel settings 'kernel-power-settings' has a run early fsck function in its boot up script.

job. done.
