NAME

fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully

SYNOPSIS

fsck.xfs [ filesys … ]

DESCRIPTION

fsck.xfs is called by the generic Linux *fsck*(8) program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem. XFS is a journaling filesystem and performs recovery at mount*(8) time if necessary, so *fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero exit status.

If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem, or repair a damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem, see *xfs_repair*(8).

However, the system administrator can force fsck.xfs to run *xfs_repair*(8) at boot time by creating a /forcefsck file or booting the system with “fsck.mode=force” on the kernel command line.

FILES

/etc/fstab.

SEE ALSO
