This -is a revision of the -original paper written by -T. J. Kowalski. -.PP -When a UNIX -operating system is brought up, a consistency -check of the file systems should always be performed. -This precautionary measure helps to insure -a reliable environment for file storage on disk. -If an inconsistency is discovered, -corrective action must be taken. -.I Fsck -runs in two modes. -Normally it is run non-interactively by the system after -a normal boot. -When running in this mode, -it will only make changes to the file system that are known -to always be correct. -If an unexpected inconsistency is found -.I fsck -will exit with a non-zero exit status, -leaving the system running single-user. -Typically the operator then runs -.I fsck -interactively. -When running in this mode, -each problem is listed followed by a suggested corrective action. -The operator must decide whether or not the suggested correction -should be made. -.PP -The purpose of this memo is to dispel the -mystique surrounding -file system inconsistencies. -It first describes the updating of the file system -(the calm before the storm) and -then describes file system corruption (the storm). -Finally, -the set of deterministic corrective actions -used by -.I fsck -(the Coast Guard -to the rescue) is presented. -.ds RH Overview of the File System |
