It's usually best to fully comprehend the post before replying, and I only understood this wasn't a problem with root fs  until after replying. Anyway, the point is that fsck without -f doesn't always ensure the filesystem is actually fsck'd, it may just defer to the journal which may suggest the filesystem is clean. If so the fsck is quick.

So I'd still umount it, and run e2fsck -f on that volume.
