FWIW:
The other answers have been correct as to what to do to check for corruption.
As far as preventing it?? I don't know of a way you can PREVENT it from happening. When it happens, it's usually something out of your hands (bad hardware, glitch in OS, etc.)
Maybe the best way to prevent it is to research corruption fully when it happens and ensure that whatever it is that caused it never happens again. Complete testing before upgrades (if you have the luxury of a complete testing environment) would be prudent.
Comes down to, you have to trust your OS and your hardware. What choice do you have??
Have a great weekend, everyone.
