systemd & fsck
--------------

I just hit my first real frustration with systemd, which is running on the
Novena.  The default storage here is a microSD card, and I've had to
force-reboot this thing enough times that I'd like to run `fsck` on the
root filesystem.

It used to be that you could call `shutdown -F` to force an fsck on boot.
The old aliases still exist, but I think the thing I'm supposed to do here
is `systemctl reboot`, and there doesn't seem to be an analogous pattern any
more.

On the other hand, some of the choices immediatly evident in the design of
`systemctl` and `journalctl` seem interesting and not without merit.
