We have CENTOS 5.5 run on DELL server.   Due to power system crash, server been down and up. I would like use 'e2fsck" to check file systems.

Does there has way to run "e2fsck" under following conditions:

1. file systems are all ext3

2. file systems must mount.

3. e2fsck only scan file system but NO modify

man fsck.ext3 <...> -n Open the filesystem read-only, and assume an answer of ‘no’ to all questions. Allows e2fsck to be used non-interactively. (Note: if the -c, -l, or -L options are specified in addition to the -n option, then the filesystem will be opened read-write, to permit the bad-blocks list to be updated. However, no other changes will be made to the filesystem.) This option may not be specified at the same time as the -p or -y options. <...>

man fsck <...> -n For some filesystem-specific checkers, the -n option will cause the fs-specific fsck to avoid attempting to repair any problems, but simply report such problems to stdout. This is however not true for all filesystem-specific checkers. In particular, fsck.reiserfs(8) will not report any corruption if given this option. fsck.minix(8) does not support the -n option at all.
