.I device
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBReiserfsck\fR searches for a Reiserfs filesystem on a device, replays
|
|
any necessary transactions, and either checks or repairs the file system.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I device
|
|
is the special file corresponding to the device or partition (e.g /dev/hdXX
|
|
for IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX for SCSI disk partition).
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --rebuild-sb
|
|
This option recovers the superblock on a Reiserfs partition. Normally you
|
|
only need this option if mount reports "read_super_block: can't find
|
|
a reiserfs file system" and you are sure that a Reiserfs file system is
|
|
there.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --check
|
|
This default action checks file system consistency and reports but
|
|
does not repair any corruption that it finds. This option may be
|
|
used on a read-only file system mount.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --fix-fixable
|
|
This option recovers certain kinds of corruption that do not require
|
|
rebuilding the entire file system tree (\fB--rebuild-tree\fR). Normally
|
|
you only need this option if the \fB--check\fR option reports
|
|
"corruption that can be fixed with \fB--fix-fixable\fR". This includes:
|
|
zeroing invalid data-block pointers, correcting st_size and st_blocks
|
|
for directories, and deleting invalid directory entries.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --rebuild-tree
|
|
This option rebuilds the entire file system tree using leaf nodes found
|
|
on the device. Normally you only need this option if the \fB--check\fR
|
|
option reports "corruption that can be fixed only during \fB--rebuild-tree\fR".
|
|
You are strongly encouraged to make a backup copy of the whole partition
|
|
before attempting the \fB--rebuild-tree\fR option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --clean-attributes
|
|
This option cleans reserved fields of Stat-Data items.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \fB--journal \fIdevice \fR, \fB-j \fIdevice \fR
|
|
This option supplies the device name of the current file system journal.
|
|
This option is required when the journal resides on a separate device
|
|
from the main data device (although it can be avoided with the expert
|
|
option \fB--no-journal-available\fR).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.\" .B --interactive, -i
|
|
.\" This makes \fBreiserfsck\fR to stop after each pass completed.
|
|
.\" .TP
|
|
.B --adjust-size, -z
|
|
This option causes \fBreiserfsck\fR to correct file sizes that
|
|
are larger than the offset of the last discovered byte. This
|
|
implies that holes at the end of a file will be removed. File
|
|
sizes that are smaller than the offset of the last discovered
|
|
byte are corrected by --fix-fixable.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--logfile \fIfile\fR, \fB-l \fI file\fR
|
|
This option causes \fBreiserfsck\fR to report any corruption it finds
|
|
to the specified log file rather than stderr.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --nolog, -n
|
|
This option prevents \fBreiserfsck\fR from reporting any kinds of corruption.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --quiet, -q
|
|
This option prevents \fBreiserfsck\fR from reporting its rate of progress.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --yes, -y
|
|
This option inhibits \fBreiserfsck\fR from asking you for confirmation after
|
|
telling you what it is going to do, assuming yes. For safety, it does not
|
|
work with the --rebuild-tree option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-a\fR, \fB-p\fR
|
|
These options are usually passed by fsck -A during the automatic checking
|
|
of those partitions listed in /etc/fstab. These options cause \fBreiserfsck\fR
|
|
to print some information about the specified file system, check if error
|
|
flags in the superblock are set and do some light-weight checks. If these
|
|
checks reveal a corruption or the flag indicating a (possibly fixable)
|
|
corruption is found set in the superblock, then \fBreiserfsck\fR switches
|
|
to the fix-fixable mode. If the flag indicating a fatal corruption is found
|
|
set in the superblock, then \fBreiserfsck\fR finishes with an error.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -V
|
|
This option prints the reiserfsprogs version and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-r\fR, \fB-f\fR
|
|
These options are ignored.
|
|
.SH EXPERT OPTIONS
|
|
DO NOT USE THESE OPTIONS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
|
|
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU LOSE DATA AS A RESULT OF THESE
|
|
OPTIONS.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \fB\--no-journal-available\fR
|
|
This option allows \fBreiserfsck\fR to proceed when the journal device is
|
|
not available. This option has no effect when the journal is located on
|
|
the main data device. NOTE: after this operation you must use \fBreiserfstune\fR
|
|
to specify a new journal device.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --scan-whole-partition, -S
|
|
This option causes \fB--rebuild-tree\fR to scan the whole partition, not only
|
|
used space on the partition.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE OF USING
|
|
1. You think something may be wrong with a reiserfs partition on /dev/hda1
|
|
or you would just like to perform a periodic disk check.
|
|
|
|
2. Run \fBreiserfsck --check --logfile check.log /dev/hda1\fR. If \fBreiserfsck
|
|
--check\fR exits with status 0 it means no errors were discovered.
|
|
|
|
3. If \fBreiserfsck --check\fR exits with status 1 (and reports about fixable
|
|
corruptions) it means that you should run \fBreiserfsck --fix-fixable --logfile
|
|
fixable.log /dev/hda1\fR.
|
|
|
|
4. If \fBreiserfsck --check\fR exits with status 2 (and reports about fatal
|
|
corruptions) it means that you need to run \fBreiserfsck --rebuild-tree\fR.
|
|
If \fBreiserfsck --check\fR fails in some way you should also run \fBreiserfsck
|
|
--rebuild-tree\fR, but we also encourage you to submit this as a bug report.
|
|
|
|
5. Before running \fBreiserfsck --rebuild-tree\fR, please make a backup of
|
|
the whole partition before proceeding. Then run \fBreiserfsck --rebuild-tree
|
|
--logfile rebuild.log /dev/hda1\fR.
|
|
|
|
6. If the \fB--rebuild-tree\fR step fails or does not recover what you expected,
|
|
please submit this as a bug report. Try to provide as much information as
|
|
possible and we will try to help solve the problem.
|
