FSCK.BTRFS(8)                 Btrfs Manual                 FSCK.BTRFS(8)

NAME

       fsck.btrfs - do nothing, successfully

SYNOPSIS

       fsck.btrfs [-aApy] [<device>...]

DESCRIPTION

       fsck.btrfs is a type of utility that should exist for any
       filesystem and is called during system setup when the
       corresponding /etc/fstab entries contain non-zero value for
       fs_passno, see fstab(5) for more.

       Traditional filesystems need to run their respective fsck utility
       in case the filesystem was not unmounted cleanly and the log
       needs to be replayed before mount. This is not needed for BTRFS.
       You should set fs_passno to 0.

       If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or
       repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs-check(8). By default
       filesystem consistency is checked, the repair mode is enabled via
       the --repair option (use with care!).

OPTIONS

       The options are all the same and detect if fsck.btrfs is executed
       in non-interactive mode and exits with success, otherwise prints
       a message about btrfs check.

EXIT STATUS

       There are two possible exit codes returned:

       0
           No error

       8
           Operational error, eg. device does not exist

FILES

       /etc/fstab
