I get from the OP's message that it is a 'headless' (quote "terminal-less") server, and it's difficult for him to run fsck. I believe he is asking how to mitigate this problem so it doesn't continue to happen (fix so fsck runs by itself?). We have ~15 FBSD servers, and I only ever had one do this to me. I never did find out the problem, but the box was with old hardware and we simply replaced it. I'm curious to know if someone else has an answer. OP, I hope I understand what you are saying properly.
