This is exactly my situation (with an armel NAS with only 128MB). For the record, I'm using Debian 10.

Besides that, since this thing doesn't have a physical terminal, forcing an fsck at boot time with systemd is hard, since you have to pass it as a (kernel) command line parameter, which is not really as simple as entering GRUB and setting the right option (fsck.mode=force).

(With other systems, I don't mind running systemd, but with some, I do).

Depending on your filesystem, one of the FS-specific tools might be able to replace the flag file. E.g., tune2fs -E force_fsck for ext4.
