.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
performs interactive filesystem consistency checks and repair for each of
|
|
the filesystems specified on the command line. It is normally invoked from
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel takes care that only a restricted class of innocuous filesystem
|
|
inconsistencies can happen unless hardware or software failures intervene.
|
|
These are limited to the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -item -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Unreferenced inodes
|
|
.It
|
|
Link counts in inodes too large
|
|
.It
|
|
Missing blocks in the free map
|
|
.It
|
|
Blocks in the free map also in files
|
|
.It
|
|
Counts in the super-block wrong
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These are the only inconsistencies that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in ``preen''
|
|
mode (with the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option) will correct; if it encounters other inconsistencies, it exits
|
|
with an abnormal return status.
|
|
For each corrected inconsistency one or more lines will be printed
|
|
identifying the filesystem on which the correction will take place,
|
|
and the nature of the correction. After successfully correcting a filesystem,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will print the number of files on that filesystem
|
|
and the number of used and free blocks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If sent a
|
|
.Dv QUIT
|
|
signal,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will finish the filesystem checks, then exit with an abnormal return status.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Without the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
audits and interactively repairs inconsistent conditions for filesystems.
|
|
If the filesystem is inconsistent the operator is prompted for concurrence
|
|
before each correction is attempted.
|
|
It should be noted that some of the corrective actions which are not
|
|
correctable under the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option will result in some loss of data.
|
|
The amount and severity of data lost may be determined from the diagnostic
|
|
output.
|
|
The default action for each consistency correction
|
|
is to wait for the operator to respond
|
|
.Li yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Li no .
|
|
If the operator does not have write permission on the filesystem
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will default to a
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
action.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following flags are interpreted by
|
|
.Nm "" .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Use the block specified immediately after the flag as
|
|
the super block for the filesystem. Block 8193 is usually
|
|
an alternate super block.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Print debugging output.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Force checking of file systems. Normally, if a file system is cleanly
|
|
unmounted, the kernel will set a
|
|
.Dq clean flag
|
|
in the file system superblock, and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will not check the file system. This option forces
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to check the file system, regardless of the state of the clean flag.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Use the mode specified in octal immediately after the flag as the
|
|
permission bits to use when creating the
|
|
.Pa lost+found
|
|
directory rather than the default 1777.
|
|
In particular, systems that do not wish to have lost files accessible
|
|
by all users on the system should use a more restrictive
|
|
set of permissions such as 700.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Assume a no response to all questions asked by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
except for
|
|
.Ql CONTINUE? ,
|
|
which is assumed to be affirmative;
|
|
do not open the filesystem for writing.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Specify ``preen'' mode, described above.
|
|
.It Fl y
|
|
Assume a yes response to all questions asked by
|
|
.Nm "" ;
|
|
this should be used with great caution as this is a free license
|
|
to continue after essentially unlimited trouble has been encountered.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -enum -indent indent -compact
|
|
Inconsistencies checked are as follows:
|
|
.It
|
|
Blocks claimed by more than one inode or the free map.
|
|
.It
|
|
Blocks claimed by an inode outside the range of the filesystem.
|
|
.It
|
|
Incorrect link counts.
|
|
.It
|
|
Size checks:
|
|
.Bl -item -indent indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Directory size not a multiple of filesystem block size.
|
|
.It
|
|
Partially truncated file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It
|
|
Bad inode format.
|
|
.It
|
|
Blocks not accounted for anywhere.
|
|
.It
|
|
Directory checks:
|
|
.Bl -item -indent indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
File pointing to unallocated inode.
|
|
.It
|
|
Inode number out of range.
|
|
.It
|
|
Dot or dot-dot not the first two entries of a directory
|
|
or having the wrong inode number.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It
|
|
Super Block checks:
|
|
.Bl -item -indent indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
More blocks for inodes than there are in the filesystem.
|
|
.It
|
|
Bad free block map format.
|
|
.It
|
|
Total free block and/or free inode count incorrect.
|
|
.El
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Orphaned files and directories (allocated but unreferenced) are,
|
|
with the operator's concurrence, reconnected by
|
|
placing them in the
|
|
.Pa lost+found
|
|
directory.
|
|
The name assigned is the inode number.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Pa lost+found
|
|
directory does not exist, it is created.
|
|
If there is insufficient space its size is increased.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Because of inconsistencies between the block device and the buffer cache,
|
|
the raw device should always be used.
|
|

|
|
.Nm
|
|
are fully enumerated and explained in Appendix A of
