It is not fsck that is cousing the trouble but tunefs itself.

=46rom the man-page you can read:

  The tunefs utility cannot be run on an active file system. =20
  To change an active file system, it must
  be downgraded to read-only or unmounted.

So to change the / partition with tunefs, you have to run
another system wich is not using that / partition.
( for instance with the fix-it cdrom )
Or you can, as the manual says, mount it read-only.
I never tried that, but maybe it will work.=20
