You could change
  /etc/rc.d/fsck
so that it will only fsck the root file system.

Then you proceed with reboot...

Then you look, if ur other file systems are mounted read-only and if yes, your
box knows, that something was wrong with them...?


WARNING: That idea needs testing...

Furthermore your applications might complain, when they find their files on a
read-only file system...
