Does that not happen on real hardware too when you have to force it off?

See the other thread, it's not supposed to let the system start with a
read-only /.

losetup isnot really the mean to fsck, just the mean to access your
partition. You can also use partx, etc. And then in all cases use fsck.

Documenting the use of partx to access the Hurd partition would probably
be useful. Not just for fsck, but also to mount it to copy data etc.
