  You don't want to run fsck on ANY mounted filesystem. This is why
xenix provides the -rr (recover root) option to sync, unmount, clean,
and remount in one swell foop.

  I don't know if you can use the -S option with -rr, but I would not
run fsck on root without the -rr option, or the in core tables can get
out of phase with the disk.
