Is possible to fsck (report only) a mounted filesystem?

Is there a way to do an FSCK of a mounted filesystem without actually performing any actions on it? (just read it and see if it is OK?)

-Ben.

Re: Is possible to fsck (report only) a mounted filesystem?

I figured it out, although it doesn't tell you this specifically in the man page,

the "-n" option will allow you to check a mounted filesystem although there are some errors that are reported even on a known good filesystem if checked in a mounted state.
