It's fsck

DO NOT RUN THIS PROGRAM ON A MOUNTED FILESYSTEM

The system will normally run fsck itself at reboot time if it feels it 
is necessary (after a certain number of times the filesystem is mounted, 
or after the machine was shut down without cleanly unmounting the 
filesystem), so you don't need to run it yourself unless you're having 
specific problems (usually problems preventing the system from booting).
