LEARN ABOUT ULTRIX
fsck.minix
FSCK.MINIX(8) System Administration FSCK.MINIX(8)
NAME
fsck.minix - check consistency of Minix filesystem
SYNOPSIS
fsck.minix [options] device
DESCRIPTION
fsck.minix performs a consistency check for the Linux MINIX filesystem.
The program assumes the filesystem is quiescent. fsck.minix should not be used on a mounted device unless you can be sure nobody is writ-
ing to it. Remember that the kernel can write to device when it searches for files.
The device name will usually have the following form:
/dev/hda[1-63] IDE disk 1
/dev/hdb[1-63] IDE disk 2
/dev/sda[1-15] SCSI disk 1
/dev/sdb[1-15] SCSI disk 2
If the filesystem was changed, i.e., repaired, then fsck.minix will print "FILE SYSTEM HAS CHANGED" and will sync(2) three times before
exiting. There is no need to reboot after check.
WARNING
fsck.minix should not be used on a mounted filesystem. Using fsck.minix on a mounted filesystem is very dangerous, due to the possibility
that deleted files are still in use, and can seriously damage a perfectly good filesystem! If you absolutely have to run fsck.minix on a
mounted filesystem, such as the root filesystem, make sure nothing is writing to the disk, and that no files are "zombies" waiting for
deletion.
OPTIONS
-l, --list
List all filenames.
-r, --repair
Perform interactive repairs.
-a, --auto
Perform automatic repairs. This option implies --repair and serves to answer all of the questions asked with the default. Note
that this can be extremely dangerous in the case of extensive filesystem damage.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose.
-s, --super
Output super-block information.
-m, --uncleared
Activate MINIX-like "mode not cleared" warnings.
-f, --force
Force a filesystem check even if the filesystem was marked as valid. Marking is done by the kernel when the filesystem is
unmounted.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
DIAGNOSTICS
There are numerous diagnostic messages. The ones mentioned here are the most commonly seen in normal usage.
If the device does not exist, fsck.minix will print "unable to read super block". If the device exists, but is not a MINIX filesystem,
fsck.minix will print "bad magic number in super-block".
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by fsck.minix is the sum of the following:
0 No errors
3 Filesystem errors corrected, system should be rebooted if filesystem was mounted
4 Filesystem errors left uncorrected
7 Combination of exit codes 3 and 4
8 Operational error
16 Usage or syntax error
