e2fsck

["Jieyao" <jieyao@letterbox.com>]

I had a few question regarding e2fsck.

Can I assume e2fsck is something like Norton Disk Doctor for Linux.

When I run it, it gave me 
/dev/hda1 is mounted.  Do you really want to continue (y/n)?  
What is the danger of continuing?

When I do a forced check on bootup (using shutdown -F) I almost always get 
some error, like zreo dtime and wrong information or stuff like that, and it auto 
fixes. The problem is after that those file that are so called 'fixed' will be 
missing.

What is happening? What are the causes of the errors? How can I prevent 
them?

TIA!
