See man shutdown:


       The -F flag means Force  fsck'.   This  only  creates  an
       advisory file /forcefsck which can be tested by the system
       when it comes up again.  The boot rc file can test if this
       file  is present, and decide to run fsck(1) with a special
       Force' flag so that even properly  unmounted  filesystems
       get  checked.   After that, the boot process should remove
       /forcefsck.
