Running 'fsck.reiserfs --check -y </dev/part>' will do the trick.  The 
equivalent for ext3 and other filesystems is
'fsck -n </dev/part>', the ext3 version detects that it is mounted rw, 
and does a readonly check.

What I wonder is if we can get fsck.reiser[fs,4] to honour option 
processing in a manner more consistant with
the other fscks, so that adding reiserfs to a list of user choosable 
filesystems is not going to cause a nightmare
of an overhead of filesystem detection, command option re-mapping and 
other related headaches.....
