NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     fsck - filesystem consistency check and interactive repair

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     fsck [-dfnpvy] [-l maxparallel]  [-T  fstype:fsoptions]  [-t
fstype]
          special | node ...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The  fsck  command  invokes  filesystem-specific programs to
check the special
 devices listed in the fstab(5) file or on  the  command
line for consistency.
  The options are as follows:

     -d      Debugging mode.  Just print the commands without executing them.
             Available only if fsck is compiled to support it.

     -f      Force checking of filesystems, even  when  they  are
marked clean
             (for filesystems that support this).

     -l maxparallel
             Limit  the number of parallel checks to maxparallel.
By default,
             the limit is the number of disks, running  one  process per disk.
             If  a  smaller limit is given, the disks are checked
round-robin,
             one filesystem at a time.

     -n      Cause fsck to assume ``no'' as the answer to all operator questions,
  except ``CONTINUE?''.  This is assumed to be
the default
             when  dealing  with  filesystems  currently  mounted
writeable.

     -p      Enter preen mode.

     -T fstype:fsoptions
             List  of comma separated filesystem specific options
for the specified
  filesystem  type,  in  the  same  format   as
mount(8).

     -t fstype
             Invoke  fsck  only  in  the  comma separated list of
filesystem types.
             If the list starts with ``no'', invoke fsck only  in
the filesystem
 types that are not specified in the list.

     -v      Print the commands before executing them.

     -y       Cause  fsck  to assume ``yes'' as the answer to all
operator questions.
