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.
