What my PC does on startup is:
fsck -R -A -V -a

The only real dificulty is that the partitions cannot be mounted when this
takes place, and it skips the root partition.  You may want to remount the
root partition as read-only and unmount everything else, then run it
without the -R so that it will hit root too.
