Of course, if you mount root read/write in the process of booting single-user to edit /etc/fstab, for instance, and you decide you want to preen a la "fsck -p", you can't. Even if you use "mount -u -r /", the preen fails on the root partition and you can't quickly check the other file systems. This is a bug and a regression since it used to work in 4.x just fine! Sometimes I'm often tempted to reboot and wait 10 minutes for the BIOS to POST just because of the effort/time to manually run fsck on each partition. If you remember to always do "fsck -p" immediately from the single-user prompt, you're fine. You just have to wait until fsck finishes with root before you mount it read-write.
