As root you can run this # touch /forcefsck Then the next reboot should result in it running an fsck on the root partition as part of the boot.
I have an option on my classroom machines, that has it boot with a kernel that runs in just ram, and it does an fsck of all of the regular linux partitions on the disk to confirm everything is error free. One could also boot from a live cd and run fsck since the partitions should not be mounted.
