you can run fsck once in a while wont hurt anything. I've had to do it once in a while to help the drives relize they have free space when they are claiming they don't.

side note if its a freebsd box and you have it rebooted due to high loads or whatever it *MIGHT* not come back and will be stuck and the drive was unclean/marked dirty. usally you have to run a fsck -y /

simple way around this
edit /etc/rc.conf and add this line
fsck_y_enable="YES"

or just type this in a shell as root
echo fsck_y_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
