Generally, the only time when I have problems with this sort of thing
is when the system catestrophically crashes (power failuer, mighty
kernel panic, &c.) The drive usually[1] isn't fsck'd unless it
was not unmounted cleanly last time it was mounted.

Did you upgrade to 2.2? lp1 in 2.0 and less is now lp0.

[1] Every once in a while a fsck is forced, just to make sure no
errors creep into the fs. I think it's a prameter you can set
with tunefs
