What i'm looking for is a check on a reiserfs filesystem that is mounted read-write. Many modern filesystems, especially those on NAS devices, can run periodic background consistency checks on filesystems with almost zero impact on performance. Some devices are reportedly running these checks constantly, possibly correcting errors without user intervention... even a notification to a sysadmin would be a good feature.
