FYI,
I've added the following paragraph to the e2fsck man page:
Note that in general it is not safe to run e2fsck on mounted filesys-
tems. The only exception is if the -n option is specified, and -c, -l,
or -L options are _not_ specified. However, even if it is safe to do
so, the results printed by e2fsck are not valid if the filesystem is
mounted. If e2fsck asks whether or not you should check a filesystem
which is mounted, the only correct answer is ``no''. Only experts who
really know what they are doing should consider answering this question
in any other way.
