Is there a file system for linux where it's possible (and safe) to perform a file system check while it's mounted read write or which does not need to be checked periodically ?
E.g. a file system whose check first 'grabs' the entire file system and then releases those parts which have been checked already.
(I'm looking for file systems with capabilities like ext2 or better, i.e. something I could use as a replacement for a root or /home file system on a PC)

Don't run fsck on a mounted file system. fsck on a mounted filesystem can data corruption.
E.g. a file system whose check first 'grabs' the entire file system and then releases those parts which have been checked already.
btrfs:
- Online filesystem check
- Very fast offline filesystem check
- Checksums on data and metadata (multiple algorithms available)
