In a word:  "BZZT!"  8-)

I never even _tried_ it on my root file system...  You're a braver man
than me!  It failed on /usr and /var, and neither of them were, or had
been mounted.

if you do it from single-user w/o r/w mounting /, it should be
treates as "the same as" the fsck -p, just be sure to reboot
afterwards...  i.e. i don't think the root-partition-ness or
mounted-ness has anything to do with it.
