-a This option does the same thing as the -p option. It is provided for backwards compatibility
only: it is suggested that people use the -p option whenever possible.
-bsuperblockblock
Normally, fsck.ocfs2 will read the superblock from the first block of the device. This option
specifies an alternate block that the superblock should be read from. (Use -r instead of this
option.)
-Bblocksize
The blocksize, specified in bytes, can range from 512 to 4096. A value of 0, the default, is
used to indicate that the blocksize should be automatically detected.
-D Optimize directories in filesystem. This option causes fsck.ocfs2 to coalesce the directory
entries in order to improve the filesystem performance.
-f Force checking even if the file system is clean.
-F By default fsck.ocfs2 will check with the cluster services to ensure that the volume is not in-use
(mounted) on any node in the cluster before proceeding. -F skips this check and should only be
used when it can be guaranteed that the volume is not mounted on any node in the cluster. WARNING:Iftheclustercheckisdisabledandthevolumeismountedononeormorenodes,filesystemcorruptionisverylikely.Ifunsure,donotusethisoption.-G Usually fsck.ocfs2 will silently assume inodes whose generation number does not match the
generation number of the super block are unused inodes. This option causes fsck.ocfs2 to ask the
user if these inodes should in fact be marked unused.
-n Give the 'no' answer to all questions that fsck will ask. This guarantees that the file system
will not be modified and the device will be opened read-only. The output of fsck.ocfs2 with this
option can be redirected to produce a record of a file system's faults.
-p Automatically repair ("preen") the file system. This option will cause fsck.ocfs2 to
automatically fix any problem that can be safely corrected without human intervention. If there
are problems that require intervention, the descriptions will be printed and fsck.ocfs2 will exit
with the value 4 logically or'd into the exit code. (See the EXITCODE section.) This option is
normally used by the system's boot scripts.
-P Show progress.
-rbackup-numbermkfs.ocfs2 makes up to 6 backup copies of the superblock at offsets 1G, 4G, 16G, 64G, 256G and 1T
depending on the size of the volume. Use this option to specify the backup, 1 thru 6, to use to
recover the superblock.
-t Show I/O statistics. If this option is specified twice, it shows the statistics on a pass by pass
basis.
-y Give the 'yes' answer to all questions that fsck will ask. This will repair all faults that
fsck.ocfs2 finds but will not give the operator a chance to intervene if fsck.ocfs2 decides that
it wants to drastically repair the file system.
-v This option causes fsck.ocfs2 to produce a very large amount of debugging output.
-V Print version information and exit.
