I guess there's no free lunch. But is there some way to schedule fsckat some regular time when you know you won't be needing the mounted file system? e.g. at 3am local time, or maybe 3pm for night owls?
Sort of difficult as the filesystem must be unmounted for a fsck, just as you say, so at least / is out. For / you can schedule a fsck for next reboot by creating a file /forcefsck, see /etc/init.d/check* for further hints. This is even recommendable every once a while. Otherwise you can maybe do some scripting to umount the filesystem, if possible, fsck it, and remount again, but I personally prefer a reboot for clean checking, as I like to keep an eye on it...
