fsck should be doing whatever it normally does.  If you don't
want fsck mucking with your file systems:
	(1) don't run fsck,
	(2) run fsck -n
	(3) run it, and be very selective with your answers to its
		questions.

If you're not mounting the file system read-write, then you probably
don't need to fsck it at all!
