I just thought of a different approach, using the fact that one can
manipulate the "Maximum mount count" without having to umount the
filesystem: write a script that always sets the "Maximum mount count" to
'0' or '-1' late during the boot (e.g. via rc.local or @reboot in the
crontab).
With this one can easily trigger a manual check on the next reboot with
a simple:
tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sdXY
and the script will reset "Maximum mount count" immediately after, so
you don't get a check on every reboot ;)
Kind regards,

Hello, Andrei!
I just wanted to confirm that adding a single line to rc.local to set
Maximum mount count to 0 and then using tune2fs to set the count to 1
and rebooting had exactly the effect desired.
I know it was obvious -- once you suggested it -- that this would work,
but thought I should confirm the method's efficacy for anyone else who
might be interested.
I also wanted to thank you again. I ran fsck manually by this method on
a remote (very) system without involving the end user at all. Just what
the doctor ordered!
Best regards,
JP
