it will not even boot if there is only a single slice with root and the rest on

I have to go to real remote locations once in a while where an USP is not of
real help anymore as the USP is not able to charge its battery before the next
power failure comes. It happened there some times that the /usr slice needs a
foreground check. Of course, all can be fixed.
I cannot imagine that this would still work if / is on the same slice as the
rest of the data.
Why not? / gets mounted read-only, foreground fsck is run on /, system boots...
Maybe I'm just not understanding the problem here. I suppose in theory your root filesystem could be so corrupt that it won't even mount read-only, but I've never actually seen that happen except in the case of an outright disk failure.
it happened to me under very strange circumstances. I was in a location with
extremely bad power supply where even an USP has had problems recharging far
enough to allow for a decent shutdown.
I believe that main cause was that the last power failure occurred when fsck was
running shortly after a reboot.
As a result, only / got mounted. I have had to run a foreground fsck on the
affected slices.
It did not just happen once but several times.
It did not happen to me since the switch to 6 many years ago. So, it is
something rare, but it exists.
