Of course: it's in use :-)
Two options:
1) force partition check with the following command (seen recently in
this list)
shutdown -Fr
2) create the file /forcefsck
touch /forcefsck
then reboot, during shutdown you'll see "A full fsck will be forced on
next startup" and then "Checking root filesystem (full fsck forced)"
See the scripts /etc/init.d/halt.sh, /etc/init.d/checkfs
and /etc/init.d/checkroot to see all the "nuts and bolts"
