It never makes sense to fsck a mounted filesystem, especially a journalled one. The 'moving corruption' may be a race condition between the journal and the disk contents.
If you are truly concerned, scan them offline -- or at least remount them read-only.

Once in a while, I would think it advisable to run fsck -y to check the disk.
Should I sign in as su or sudo?
What is the difference and which is preferred?
Thank you in Advance! (4 Replies)

Hi,
When we are running fsck in vxvm FS within few sec it will completed even if data is more than 500GB or in TB also.
compare to UFS FS in that it will take more time compare with vxvm.UFS check FS in block level. & then vvxm on where its checking the FS.
Please explain. (1 Reply)

debugreiserfs
DEBUGREISERFS(8) System Manager's Manual DEBUGREISERFS(8)
NAME
debugreiserfs - The debugging tool for the ReiserFS filesystem.
SYNOPSIS
debugreiserfs [ -dDJmoqpuSV ] [ -j device ] [ -B file ] [ -1 N ]
device
DESCRIPTION
debugreiserfs sometimes helps to solve problems with reiserfs filesystems. When run without options it prints the super block of the Reis-
erFS filesystem found on the device.
device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX for an IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX for a SCSI disk partition).
OPTIONS
-j device
prints the contents of the journal. The option -p allows it to pack the journal with other metadata into the archive.
-J prints the journal header.
-d prints the formatted nodes of the internal tree of the filesystem.
-D prints the formatted nodes of all used blocks of the filesystem.
-m prints the contents of the bitmap (slightly useful).
-o prints the objectid map (slightly useful).
-B file
takes the list of bad blocks stored in the internal ReiserFS tree and translates it into an ascii list written to the specified
file.
-1 blocknumber
prints the specified block of the filesystem.
-p extracts the filesystem's metadata with debugreiserfs -p /dev/xxx | gzip -c > xxx.gz. None of your data are packed unless a filesys-
tem corruption presents when the whole block having this corruption is packed. You send us the output, and we use it to create a
filesystem with the same strucure as yours using debugreiserfs -u. When the data file is not too large, this usually allows us to
quickly reproduce and debug the problem.
-u builds the ReiserFS filesystem image with gunzip -c xxx.gz | debugreiserfs -u /dev/image of the previously packed metadata with
debugreiserfs -p. The result image is not the same as the original filesystem, because mostly only metadata were packed with debu-
greiserfs -p, but the filesystem structure is completely recreated.
-S When -S is not specified -p deals with blocks marked used in the filesystem bitmap only. With this option set debugreiserfs will
work with the entire device.
-q When -p is in use, suppress showing the speed of progress.
