*Verified Date : *Modified User : nathans
*Modified User Domain : engr *Description :
both "xfs_check" and "xfs_repair -n" may be run on a mounted
filesystem and will usually produce lots of warnings about
filesystem corruption due to the inconsistent state the FS
is in.
Both tools should fail or at least warn that the FS is mounted
before proceeding.
xfs_logprint should also warn when run on a mounted FS, but
can still be useful when mounted.

==========================
I've backed this fix out... it works but is too simplistic an
approach for the general case. We should allow these tools to
run on a filesystem which is mounted read-only - this change
currently disallows _all_ mounted filesystems, which is too
strict.
