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.
