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.

I, too, am looking for a solution to be able to do some sort of check _regardless_ of whether and how
the filesystem is mounted.....

Running 'fsck.reiserfs --check -y </dev/part>' will do the trick.  The
equivalent for ext3 and other filesystems is
'fsck -n </dev/part>', the ext3 version detects that it is mounted rw,
and does a readonly check.

What I wonder is if we can get fsck.reiser[fs,4] to honour option
processing in a manner more consistant with
the other fscks, so that adding reiserfs to a list of user choosable
filesystems is not going to cause a nightmare
of an overhead of filesystem detection, command option re-mapping and
other related headaches.....
