i've seen it the opposite...it reports errors where there are none.

Subject: Reliability of fsck on mounted filesystems
I am aware that fsck cannot update a mounted filesystem. But it can still
report errors.
Doing so gives the message: "Checking a mounted filesystem does not produce
dependable results."
Under what circumstances will fsck produce undependable results? Could it
indicate that there are no errors when in fact there are?
Has anyone actually seen this for themselves?
