	Fsck
		Generally, fsck is run automatically at boot time when the system detects that a file system is in an inconsistent state, indicating a non-graceful shutdown, such as a crash or power loss.
		Typically, fsck utilities provide options for interactively repairing damaged file systems (the user must decide how to fix specific problems), allowing fsck to decide how to fix specific problems (so the user doesn't have to answer any questions), or reviewing the problems that need to be resolved on a file system without actually fixing them.
		Fsck can also be run manually by the system administrator if she or he believes there is a problem with the file system.

		Fsck will manage the filesystem checkers so that only one of them will display a progress bar at a time.
		Options which are not understood by fsck are passed to the filesystem-specific checker.
		Please note that fsck is not designed to pass arbitrarily complicated options to filesystem-specific checkers.

		fsck will not work on a block device if it is mounted.
		In interactive mode, fsck will list the direction the conversion is to be made and ask whether the conversion should be done.
		Running fsck on a mounted file system can cause the operating system's buffers to become out of date with respect to the disk.

	itmission.org - FSCK
		fsck must only be run on unmounted filesystems, never on mounted filesystems (with the exception of the read-only root during startup).
		On a badly corrupted partition, you may need to run fsck several times to fix all the problems.
		This list can be fed to fsck to be recorded in the filesystem data structures so that the operating system won't try to use the bad blocks for storing data.

		If the file system is inconsistent the default action for each correction is to wait for the user to respond yes or no. If the user does not have write per- mission fsck defaults to a no action.

	Disk Maintenance under Linux (Disk Recovery) \| Linux Journal
		Invoking fsck from the command line on any given partition will probably not result in a check being run, because you have not reached the predetermined maximum mount count; therefore, the system believes the file system is clean and not in need of checking.
		While fsck will usually not encounter problems, typing fsck -y and then taking a coffee break, leaving the machine to take care of itself, is not particularly prudent.
		I consider the fsck and e2fsck man pages fairly well written, as is appropriate considering the importance of these utilities to your file system's health.

	fsck
		The default action for each consistency correction is to wait for the operator to respond yes or no. If the operator does not have write permission on the filesystem fsck will default to a -n action.
		These are the only inconsistencies that fsck with the -p option will correct; if it encounters other inconsistencies, it exits with an abnormal return status and an automatic reboot will then fail.
		After successfully correcting a filesystem, fsck will print the number of files on that filesystem, the number of used and free blocks, and the percentage of fragmentation.

	checking and repairing file system with fsck
		:fsck tries to repair all the problems it finds in a file system without stopping for user response useful in case of a large number of inconsistencies in a file system but has the disadvantage of removing some useful files which are detected to be corrupt.
		The fsck topic here paid a brief visit to some of general aspects of fsck but a detailed document on fsck is comming up to cover most of the error messages and there explanation so watch out if you are looking for more details.
		fsck is covered in most of the sysadmin books and you can buy some of the books from amazon.com or besttechbooks.com which is a amazon affiliate site with focus obly on technical books.

		If fsck receives a SIGINFO (see the ``status'' argument for stty(1)) sig- nal, a line will be written to the standard output indicating the name of the device currently being checked, the current phase number and phase- specific progress information.

		The suite is currently composed of 3 programs, one (fsck) for everyday disc scanning (and eventually fixing), one (eliminate) for removing broken files that the OS can't otherwise delete and one (hardfix) for fixing heavily corrupted discs.
		fsck also reports various informations about the allocation of files and directories, giving a detailed count of the amount of disc space that is wasted due to the way files are stored on it (see RealCount for an easier way to obtain these statistics).
		To date, fsck fixed hundreds of discs, received a number of positive comments in the comp.sys.acorn groups, is mentioned in the comp.sys.acorn FAQ, has been positively reviewed in the RISC User magazine (September 1995) and has been included in the Acorn User Cover Disc (March 96).

	UNIX man pages : fsck_vxfs ()
		If special is not specified, fsck prompts you with each file system listed in /etc/fstab to determine which file system to check, unless you specify -y or -Y, to automatically answer yes to the prompts.
		If fsck -o full without nolog is run on a clean file system, it first replays the intent log.
		If fsck was not invoked with the -y option, it must be reinvoked with the -y or -o full option to perform a full fsck.

		Normally, the fsck program will try to run filesystems on different physical disk drives in parallel to reduce total amount time to check all of the filesystems.
		The exit code returned when multiple file systems are checked is the bit-wise OR of the exit codes for each file system that is checked.
		This option is mapped to e2fsck's -p option which is safe to use, unlike the -a option that most file system checkers support.

		If the type can not be deduced, fsck will use the type specified by the −t option if it specifies a unique filesystem type.
		Any options which are not understood by fsck, or which follow the −− option are treated as file system-specific options to be passed to the file system-specific checker.
		The manual page was shamelessly adapted from David Engel and Fred van Kempen’s generic fsck front end program, which was in turn shamelessly adapted from Remy Card’s version for the ext2 file system.
