   4 .SH SYNOPSIS
   5 .B fsck.xfs
   6 [
   7 .I filesys
   8 \&... ]
   9 .SH DESCRIPTION
  10 .B fsck.xfs
  11 is called by the generic Linux
  12 .BR fsck (8)
  13 program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem.
  14 XFS is a journaling filesystem and performs recovery at
  15 .BR mount (8)
  16 time if necessary, so
  17 .B fsck.xfs
  18 simply exits with a zero exit status.
  19 .PP
  20 If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem,
  21 or repair a damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem,
  22 see
  23 .BR xfs_repair (8).
  24 .PP
  25 However, the system administrator can force
  26 .B fsck.xfs
  27 to run
  28 .BR xfs_repair (8)
  29 at boot time by creating a /forcefsck file or booting the system with
  30 "fsck.mode=force" on the kernel command line.
