Sounds like fun, check out tune2fs and it's options for date that it
was last checked (-T) well into the past, and the time between checks
(-i) to something that is passed, it will fsck on reboot.

Personally, i set mine to 30 days which for me under normal
circumstances ends up being every time i reboot about every 2 or 3
months :)

There might be an easier way, I'm not sure.
