fsck.xfs

fsck.xfs(8)                                                   System Manager's Manual                                                  fsck.xfs(8)

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_check(8)  and
       xfs_repair(8).

FILES

       /etc/fstab.

SEE ALSO

       fsck(8), fstab(5), xfs(5), xfs_check(8), xfs_repair(8).
