And if you really need to fix this remotely without risk of the system
not coming back, you can craft a chroot rescue environment in a ram
based file-system, pivot-root to that, and fsck the unmounted flash
drive.  You could even pivot-root back to the fixed filesystem without
rebooting unless you need to update the kernel.
