fsck cannot repair a file system which is mounted read/write. It can only
repair a file system which is not mounted or which is mounted read/only.
However, if the sectors are bad because the hard disk is going bad, fsck
cannot fix that. You need to determine why the sectors went bad in the
first place. If your hard disk is going bad, it's time to replace the
hard disk.
