| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B fsck.xfs |
| [ |
| .I filesys |
| \&... ] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B fsck.xfs |
| is called by the generic Linux |
| .BR fsck (8) |
| program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem. |
| XFS is a journaling filesystem and performs recovery at |
| .BR mount (8) |
| time if necessary, so |
| .B fsck.xfs |
| simply exits with a zero exit status. |
| .PP |
| If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem, |
| or repair a damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem, |
| see |
| .BR xfs_repair (8). |
| .PP |
| However, the system administrator can force |
| .B fsck.xfs |
| to run |
| .BR xfs_repair (8) |
| at boot time by creating a /forcefsck file or booting the system with |
| "fsck.mode=force" on the kernel command line. |
