Sure.

This last time, I first tried "umount" the partition, which initially
failed, because despite being read only, some applications thought they
had opened files on it (I was already in runlevel 1). I found them with
lsof, killed them, umounted, mounted, system crash. Had to hit reset
button on machine.

Reboot machine, and partition is automatically mounted, so the log
replayed here. umount, repair (finds nothing, as far as I can see),
backup, format, restore.

I'm not sure I understand the question :-?

If you want me to run the system for a month, waiting for this to happen
again, in some special kernel debug mode... I don't know if that will be
feasible :-}
