How to stagger fsck executions

CentOS 6

Hi All:

Over the weekend I had to reboot one of my systems and got hit with
fsck runs on all of the filesystems. I would not mind so much except
doing them all at once took over an hour. I would like to be able to
stagger these, ideally only execute one fsck per reboot. I have been
able to think of two possible solutions but neither is terrific.

My first idea was to manually run fsck on each filesystem, one every
couple of weeks. That way they will not all come due at the same time
if we reboot on a regular basis.

The second idea was to set each filesystem to a different random count
value. This would run the risk of having two or more executions at
the same time but it would probably not be very frequent.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a better way of doing this?

TIA

Regards, Hugh
