I found that you can have linux fsck every time if you want.  Read the man page
for fstab.   You would just edit the fstab file the fifth and sixth field.  Each
time it reboots it would fsck.  You can always change them back.  I believe it
was Neil who told me about this a while back.  It sounds like a non zero forces
a fsck.  You could have it check  each partition.  Neil can possibly inform us a
little more about this.  I hope this help.
