preen (-p), and in that case the filesystem is skipped if it is clean. A new flag "-f" for 'force' has been added which basically gives back the old behavior of checking all the filesystems all the time. This very closely models the behavior of SunOS and Ultrix.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The first form of
|
|
.Nm fsck
|
|
preens a standard set of filesystems or the specified filesystems.
|
|
It is normally used in the script
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
during automatic reboot.
|
|
Here
|
|
.Nm fsck
|
|
reads the table
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
to determine which filesystems to check.
|
|
Only partitions in fstab that are mounted ``rw,'' ``rq'' or ``ro''
|
|
and that have non-zero pass number are checked.
|
|
Filesystems with pass number 1 (normally just the root filesystem)
|
|
are checked one at a time.
|
|
When pass 1 completes, all remaining filesystems are checked,
|
|
running one process per disk drive.
|
|
The disk drive containing each filesystem is inferred from the longest prefix
|
|
of the device name that ends in a digit; the remaining characters are assumed
|
|
to be the partition designator.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The clean flag of each filesystem's superblock is examined and only those filesystems that
|
|
are not marked clean are checked. If the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option is specified, the filesystems
|
|
will be checked regardless of the state of their clean flag.
|
|
.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:
|
|
.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 fsck
|
|
with the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option will correct; if it encounters other inconsistencies, it exits
|
|
with an abnormal return status and an automatic reboot will then fail.
|
|
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 fsck
|
|
will print the number of files on that filesystem,
|
|
the number of used and free blocks,
|
|
and the percentage of fragmentation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If sent a
|
|
.Dv QUIT
|
|
signal,
|
|
.Nm fsck
|
|
will finish the filesystem checks, then exit with an abnormal
|
|
return status that causes an automatic reboot to fail.
|
|
This is useful when you want to finish the filesystem checks during an
|
|
automatic reboot,
|
|
but do not want the machine to come up multiuser after the checks complete.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Without the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option,
|
|
.Nm fsck
|
|
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 fsck
|
|
will default to a
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
action.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Fsck
|
|
has more consistency checks than
|
|
its predecessors
|
|
.Em check , dcheck , fcheck ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em icheck
|
|
combined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following flags are interpreted by
|
|
.Nm fsck .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Use the block specified immediately after the flag as
|
|
the super block for the filesystem. Block 32 is usually
|
|
an alternate super block.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Limit the number of parallel checks to the number specified in the following
|
|
argument.
|
|
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.
|
|
.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 y
|
|
Assume a yes response to all questions asked by
|
|
.Nm fsck ;
|
|
this should be used with great caution as this is a free license
|
|
to continue after essentially unlimited trouble has been encountered.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Assume a no response to all questions asked by
|
|
.Nm fsck
|
|
except for
|
|
.Ql CONTINUE? ,
|
|
which is assumed to be affirmative;
|
|
do not open the filesystem for writing.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Convert the filesystem to the specified level.
|
|
Note that the level of a filesystem can only be raised.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
There are currently three levels defined:
|
|
.It 0
|
|
The filesystem is in the old (static table) format.
|
|
.It 1
|
|
The filesystem is in the new (dynamic table) format.
|
|
.It 2
|
|
The filesystem supports 32-bit uid's and gid's,
|
|
short symbolic links are stored in the inode,
|
|
and directories have an added field showing the file type.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In interactive mode,
|
|
.Nm fsck
|
|
will list the conversion to be made
|
|
and ask whether the conversion should be done.
|
|
If a negative answer is given,
|
|
no further operations are done on the filesystem.
|
|
In preen mode,
|
|
the conversion is listed and done if
|
|
possible without user interaction.
|
|
Conversion in preen mode is best used when all the filesystems
|
|
are being converted at once.
|
|
The format of a filesystem can be determined from the
|
|
first line of output from
|
|
.Xr dumpfs 8 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no filesystems are given to
|
|
.Nm fsck
|
|
then a default list of filesystems is read from
|
|
the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab .
|
|
.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 DIRBLKSIZ.
|
|
.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.
