You can use tune2fs to change the max-mount-counts and mount-count
values in a ext2/3/4 filesystem. You can use the -C switch to force a
check at next boot.
>From the manual:
-C mount-count
              Set  the  number  of  times  the  filesystem has been
mounted.  If set to a greater value than the max-mount-counts
parameter set by the -c option, e2fsck(8) will check the filesystem at
the next reboot.
