It is a VERY bad idea to do fsck -y on a partition which is currently
mounted rw. You should ether unmount or mount a drive ro to do fsck.
mount -n -o ro,remount /
fsck -y /dev/whatever
This way the drive is in a consistent state while it is being modified
by fsck. If you aren't going to reboot right away, you could then remount
it rw with the command given in the previous email.
