I suspect there *may* be some on-disk corruption but I can't seem to be able to run e2fsck on my /home which is 3.6TB in size. I booted into single mode and ran "umount /home" but e2fsck on my home partition still reports "resource is busy". lsof doesn't tell me what's using the partition.
Are the good old methods of doing shutdown with -F or touching a file called forcefsck deprecated?
At worst, you should be able to use tune2fs and -C option to set the mount-count and it will be automatically fsck'ed at the next reboot. See the man page for details.
