I don't. you should always fsck before doing anything else, and for that 
everything should remain mounted 'ro' - this is the way it always was 
and the way it should remain.

Just by adding more magic this simple principle has become covered in 
obscurity - this is bad of course. Once you are done fsck-ing you can 
mount 'rw' everything you want without penalty anyway.

remounting things 3x does not make any sense to me at all - just fsck it 
all first!
