Well, you can try, but you'll probably have pieces-parts all over...
And it's not just the cache that's the problem with a mounted file system - it's the fact that things are changing. Every file system check I'm aware of assumes the entire file system is static. And it pretty much has to be to ensure consistency. If there's some sort of required consistency between two or more items in the file system, if things are changing there's no way to know if there's an inconsistency because it's corrupt or because it's been changed. The fsck process can't look at the entire file system at one moment in time - it can only look at all the different parts of the file system in some sequence.
Once in a while, I would think it advisable to run fsck -y to check the disk.
Should I sign in as su or sudo?
What is the difference and which is preferred?
Thank you in Advance! (4 Replies)

Everytime I run fsck -y I get: FILE SYSTEM STATE IN SUPERBLOCK IS WRONG; FIX? yes
Do I need to run fsck with the backup superblock option or is there
some other option I should use. I have tried the format->analyze->read
option but that does not report any corrupt blocks.... (5 Replies)

I consulted with a fellow sysadmin, and he suggested running "fsck -N" on the filesystem in question without unmounting it. So I... (1 Reply)

i want to know what does it mean by doing a consistentcy check fsck on a disk and why journaling filesystems dont need to do it
and what is meant by disk is in a consistent state when writing because entries are recorded in a journal and then to the metadata and then removed from journal (1 Reply)

Hi,
When we are running fsck in vxvm FS within few sec it will completed even if data is more than 500GB or in TB also.
compare to UFS FS in that it will take more time compare with vxvm.UFS check FS in block level. & then vvxm on where its checking the FS.
Please explain. (1 Reply)

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.
