FSCK_MSDOS(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual FSCK_MSDOS(8) NAME fsck_msdos -- DOS/Windows (FAT) filesystem consistency checker SYNOPSIS fsck_msdos -p [-f] filesystem ... fsck_msdos [-fny] filesystem ... DESCRIPTION The fsck_msdos utility verifies and repairs FAT filesystems (more com- monly known as DOS filesystems). The first form of fsck_msdos preens the specified filesystems. It is normally started by fsck(8) run from /etc/rc during automatic reboot, when a FAT filesystem is detected. When preening file systems, fsck_msdos will fix common inconsistencies non-interactively. If more serious problems are found, fsck_msdos does not try to fix them, indi- cates that it was not successful, and exits. The second form of fsck_msdos checks the specified file systems and tries to repair all detected inconsistencies, requesting confirmation before making any changes. The options are as follows: -f This option is ignored by fsck_msdos, and is present only for compatibility with programs that check other file sys- tem types for consistency, such as fsck_ffs(8). -n Causes fsck_msdos to assume no as the answer to all opera- tor questions, except ``CONTINUE?''. -p Preen the specified filesystems. -y Causes fsck_msdos to assume yes as the answer to all opera- tor questions. SEE ALSO fsck(8), fsck_ffs(8), mount_msdos(8) BUGS fsck_msdos is still under construction. NetBSD 5.0_RC4 August 13, 1995 NetBSD 5.0_RC4
