See the words "NO WRITE" in that message?  This happens because you
are attempting to fsck(8) a *mounted* file system.

Yes, it's true. But I can't unmount /var under normal boot.
And then why errors haven't been fixed or even detected in single mode,
where partitions are unmounted.

When you are in a normal multi-user boot, daemons are running with files open in /var, and in particular, /var/run. The warnings you get from fsck() relate to all of these
open files.

Your filesystem was repaired, and is now working properly. You are only seeing these messages because you are running fsck() against a mounted filesystem with open files.



Thank you. This is definitely the case then.
I didn't know that fsck could produce fake errors while running on mounted fs.
