As a general rule, unless the ext3 file system experiences a crash that
prevents it from writing data to the disk, it won't experience any
problems that can be corrected by fsck unless the drive is unreliable (or
controller, or memory, etc.)

I'm not suggesting you not do it, but it's probably better to just reboot
into single user mode and fsck the filesystem if this is what you want to
do.

That being said, xfs and/or jfs would be better choices for a filesystem,
for both speed and reliability.
