Hi 
Sounds like you are forcing an fsck on a mounted file system.  Not a
good thing to  do.  fsck is used to check the integrity of a file
system.  This should be run with the file system unmounted.  This is
explained in the WARNING above.  Do a man on fsck to learn more.

I believe the 32977/787177 is the used blocks and the total blocks on
the file system.

Why are you trying to run fsck?
