fsck'ing dirty unmounted file system in multi user?

Hi,
after a crash of a server (running 4.10) we wanted to bring it
up ASAP and skipped fsck'ing some backup partitions as they weren't
essential for it to work. However, I'd now like to fsck them while the
machine is in multi user but I always end up with.
fsck -fp /dev/ar0s1g
/dev/ar0s1g: NO WRITE ACCESS
/dev/ar0s1g: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.

Do I really have to take the machine to single user just to fix a not
currently used FS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards,
Gabriel
