Synopsis: fsck cannot recover filesystem corruption

State-Changed-Why: 
fsck is known to need a lot of memory for large filesystems. The only
way to solve this is to add memory to the system (you don't have that
much resources at the time a "foreground" fsck is running, for a bgfsck
you can use swap).

It is not known to me if a rewrite of fsck with low memory usage in mind
can solve the issue or not (it may be the case that the memory usage
is inherent in the way fsck works).
