Hi and no, that message appears when -d is used, even if the volume is not mounted (at least on the current version from git)
The help page states this for -d, given that the metadata corruption could not be repaired without the option, I gave it a try (there is no mention that this supports mounted volumes?):
-d Repair dangerously.
