*FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL*::
-If this environment variable is set, *fsck* will attempt to check all of the specified filesystems in parallel, regardless of whether the filesystems appear to be on the same device. (This is useful for RAID systems or high-end storage systems such as those sold by companies such as IBM or EMC.) Note that the _fs_passno_ value is still used.

*FSCK_MAX_INST*::
-This environment variable will limit the maximum number of filesystem checkers that can be running at one time. This allows configurations which have a large number of disks to avoid *fsck* starting too many filesystem checkers at once, which might overload CPU and memory resources available on the system. If this value is zero, then an unlimited number of processes can be spawned. This is currently the default, but future versions of *fsck* may attempt to automatically determine how many filesystem checks can be run based on gathering accounting data from the operating system.

+Override the standard location of the _/etc/fstab_ file.

-*sulogin* looks for the environment variable *SUSHELL* or *sushell* to determine what shell to start. If the environment variable is not set, it will try to execute root's shell from _/etc/passwd_. If that fails, it will fall back to _/bin/sh_.

*POSIXLY_CORRECT*::
-This environment variable is examined by the *getopt*(3) routines. If it is set, parsing stops as soon as a parameter is found that is not an option or an option argument. All remaining parameters are also interpreted as non-option parameters, regardless whether they start with a '*-*'.

-Force to use classic *mount*(2) system call (requires support for new file descriptors based mount API). The default is *auto*; in this case, libmount tries to be smart and use classic *mount*(2) only for well-known issues. If the new mount API is unavailable, libmount can still use traditional *mount*(2), although LIBMOUNT_FORCE_MOUNT2 is set to *never*.
