1) Don't ever fsck a mounted drive if you can avoid it.  If you have to
fsck a mounted drive, immediately do a 'reboot -n' afterwards.

2) You can't fsck the block device.  You have to fsck the raw device, I
believe.  So:

fsck -f /dev/rd1g

might work.  I'd still suggest doing on the drive while it's unmounted,
tho.

Later.
