CHAPTER 5 File System Management
5.2 Fsck
The fsck command checks and corrects file system inconsistencies. The file system should be unmounted or "quiet" when running fsck. Ideally, it should be unmounted, but this is not always possible for the root file system. fsck makes several passes through the file system, each time examining a different feature.
