    Specifically:

    stkmpd00(/home/tk/geek)>fsck /dev/hd3

    ** Checking /dev/hd3 (/tmp) MOUNTED FILE SYSTEM;
    WRITING SUPPRESSED;
    Checking a mounted filesystem does not produce
    dependable results.
    ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
    ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
    ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
    ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
    ** Phase 5 - Check Inode Map
    Bad Inode Map (NOT SALVAGED)
    ** Phase 6 - Check Block Map
    Filesystem integrity is not guaranteed
    214 files 69896 blocks 2027256 free

    Note the line about dependable results.
