Not a good thing to do. fsck is used to check the integrity of a file system. This should be run with the file system unmounted. This is explained in the WARNING above. Do a man on fsck to learn more. I believe the 32977/787177 is the used blocks and the total blocks on the file system. Why are you trying to run fsck? -- Response brought to you by AutoReponder 0.1 a product of Magic-8-ball productions. (version 0.2 will feature correct answers!)
