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.

fsck.xfs

fsck.xfs(8)                                                   System Manager's Manual                                                  fsck.xfs(8)

NAME

       fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully

SYNOPSIS

       fsck.xfs [ filesys ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       fsck.xfs  is  called by the generic Linux fsck(8) program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem.  XFS is a journaling filesystem
       and performs recovery at mount(8) time if necessary, so fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero exit status.

       If you wish to check the consistency of an  XFS  filesystem,  or  repair  a  damaged  or  corrupt  XFS  filesystem,  see  xfs_check(8)  and
       xfs_repair(8).

FILES

       /etc/fstab.

SEE ALSO

       fsck(8), fstab(5), xfs(5), xfs_check(8), xfs_repair(8).

                                                                                                                                       fsck.xfs(8)
