Subject: xfs_repair is recommended over xfs_check.
X-Git-Tag: v3.1.8~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3269a51a55841c98540709dda2beb2a73f96ef50;p=thirdparty%2Fxfsprogs-dev.git

xfs_repair is recommended over xfs_check.

I see "use xfs_repair instead of xfs_check" hint on xfs@irc, mailing
lists and other places but the first source of information (xfs_check
man page) doesn't mention this. Improve that.
