The way to fsck a filesystem without anything dangerous happening is to use the -n switch:

Code:
# fsck -n <filesystem#>

with the -n meaning, whatever the question is the answer is no. Therefore, no modifications/corrections to the filesystem but the extent of any damage will be shown.

The opposite is:

Code:
# fsck -y <filesystem>

which means all questions are automatically answered yes meaning correct everything, and yes, in the case of severe damage, can destroy the filesystem completely.

If damage is limited then you can run fsck again with neither -n or -y and answer each question yourself individually to carry out corrections.
