How do you fix a broken filesystem, other than letting fsck have its way
with it?

I'm not seeing how doing an fsck from a live cd helps.
Generally speaking, something ends up being mounted rw and if it isn't
clean, that can cause issues that may have been fixable before to become
issues that are no longer fixable. This is why a lot of people put a
rescue system in /boot and add it to their boot loader menu. Sadly, my
/boot partition isn't large enough or I'd do that as well. If you have
data you don't want to lose and no backups or only older backups, you
don't want to do anything that involves risk. Booting something else
and fixing file system errors is the safest way.
