sure...change your init scripts and before you mount, regardless of if the drives were cleanly unmounted, have it run fsck.
There is a flag for non-interactive as well. Then just reboot.
I think the file is /etc/rc.d/rc.sysint (on RedHat Systems) ('man fsch' will let you know how to do non-interactive)
