.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
\fBfsck\fR audits and interactively repairs inconsistent conditions on file
systems. A file system to be checked can be specified by giving the name of the
block or character special device or by giving the name of its mount point if a
matching entry exists in \fB/etc/vfstab\fR.
.sp
.LP
\fIspecial\fR represents the character special device, for example,
\fB/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0\fR, on which the file system resides. The character
special device, not the block special device should be used. \fBfsck\fR does
not work on a mounted block device.
.sp
.LP
If no special device is specified, all \fBudfs\fR file systems specified in the
\fBvfstab\fR file with a \fBfsckdev\fR entry are checked. If the \fB-p\fR
(\fBpreen\fR) option is specified, \fBudfs\fR file systems with an
\fBfsckpass\fR number greater than \fB1\fR are checked in parallel. See
\fBfsck\fR(8).
.sp
.LP
In the case of correcting serious inconsistencies, by default, \fBfsck\fR asks
for confirmation before making a repair and waits for the operator to respond
with either \fByes\fR or \fBno\fR. If the operator does not have write
permission on the file system, \fBfsck\fR defaults to the \fB-n\fR (no
corrections) option. See \fBfsck\fR(8).
.sp
.LP
Repairing some file system inconsistencies can result in loss of data. The
amount and severity of data loss can be determined from the diagnostic output.
.sp
.LP
\fBfsck\fR automatically corrects innocuous inconsistencies. It displays a
message for each corrected inconsistency that identifies the nature of the
correction which took place on the file system. After successfully correcting a
file system, \fBfsck\fR prints the number of files on that file system and the
number of used and free blocks.
.sp
.LP

.SH OPTIONS
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIgeneric_options\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 23n
The following \fIgeneric_options\fR are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-m\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 11n
Check but do not repair. This option checks to be sure that the file system is
suitable for mounting, and returns the appropriate exit status. If the file
system is ready for mounting, \fBfsck \fRdisplays a message such as:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
udfs fsck: sanity check: /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0 okay
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-n\fR | \fB-N\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 11n
Assume a \fBno\fR response to all questions asked by \fBfsck\fR; do not open
the file system for writing.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-V\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 11n
Echo the expanded command line, but do not execute the command. This option can
be used to verify and to validate the command line.

\fB\fB-o\fR \fIspecific_options\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 23n
Specify \fBudfs\fR file system specific options in a comma-separated list with
no intervening spaces. The following \fIspecific_options\fR are available:
.sp

Force checking of file systems regardless of the state of their logical volume
integrity state.
.RE

.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBp\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 5n
Check and fix the file system non-interactively (\fBpreen\fR). Exit immediately
if there is a problem that requires intervention. This option is required to
enable parallel file system checking.
.RE

.SH WARNINGS
.LP
The operating system buffers file system data. Running \fBfsck\fR on a mounted
file system can cause the operating system's buffers to become out of date with
respect to the disk. For this reason, use \fBfsck\fR only when the file system
is unmounted. If this is not possible, take care that the system is quiescent
and that it is rebooted immediately after running \fBfsck\fR. A panic will
probably occur if running \fBfsck\fR on a file system that modifies the file
system while it is mounted.
.sp
.LP
If an unmount of the file system is not done before the system is shut down,
the file system might become corrupted. In this case, a file system check needs
to be completed before the next mount operation.
