The thing you are getting now IS automatic. FileSystem checks are done as per your init scripts. Most distros invoke the option of fsck -A (step through fstab). You would have to locate the specific rc script for your distro and make amends to that for changing default options and set the "-a" flag for automatic repair as well. Alternatively, in the advent of power failure or known crash where there are good chances of filesystem corruption, boot from a rescue disk (not boot disk) or a stand alone distro and do an e2fsck or fsck on the unmounted partitions.
