.Nd DOS/Windows (FAT) filesystem consistency checker
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS

.Nm

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility verifies and repairs
|
|
.Tn FAT
|
|
filesystems (more commonly known
|
|
as
|
|
.Tn DOS
|
|
filesystems).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first form of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
preens the specified filesystems.
|
|
It is normally started by
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
run from
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
during automatic reboot, when a FAT filesystem is detected.
|
|
When preening file systems,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will fix common inconsistencies non-interactively.
|
|
If more serious problems are found,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not try to fix them, indicates that it was not
|
|
successful, and exits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The second form of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
checks the specified file systems and tries to repair all
|
|
detected inconsistencies, requesting confirmation before
|
|
making any changes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XxXsnapXbackupXX
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
This option is ignored by
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
and is present only for compatibility with programs that
|
|
check other file system types for consistency, such as
|
|
.Xr fsck_ffs 8 .
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to assume no as the answer to all operator
|
|
questions, except
|
|
.Dq CONTINUE? .
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Preen the specified filesystems.
|
|
.It Fl x Ar snap-backup
|
|
Use a snapshot with
|
|
.Ar snap-backup
|
|
as backup to check a read-write mounted filesystem.
|
|
Must be used with
|
|
.Fl n .
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr fss 4
|
|
for more details.
|
|
The point is to check an internally-consistent version of the
|
|
filesystem to find out if it is damaged; on failure one should unmount
|
|
the filesystem and repair it.
|
|
.It Fl y
|
|
Causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to assume yes as the answer to all operator questions.
