NAME
|
|
----
|
|
btrfs-check - check or repair an unmounted btrfs filesystem
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*btrfs check* [options] <device>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The filesystem checker is used to verify structural integrity of a filesystem
|
|
and attempt to repair it if requested. The filesystem must be unmounted.
|
|
|
|
By default, *btrfs check* will not modify the device but you can reaffirm that
|
|
by the option '--readonly'.
|
|
|
|
*btrfsck* is an alias of *btrfs check* command and is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Do not use '--repair' unless you are adviced to by a developer, an
|
|
experienced user or accept the fact that 'fsck' cannot possibly fix all sorts
|
|
of damage that could happen to a filesystem because of software and hardware
|
|
bugs.
|
|
|
|
The structural integrity check verifies if internal filesystem objects or
|
|
data structures satisfy the constraints, point to the right objects or are
|
|
correctly connected together.
|
|
|
|
There are several cross checks that can detect wrong reference counts of shared
|
|
extents, backrefrences, missing extents of inodes, directory and inode
|
|
connectivity etc.
|
|
|
|
The amount of memory required can be high, depending on the size of the
|
|
filesystem, smililarly the run time.
|
|
|
|
SAFE OR ADVISORY OPTIONS
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
-b|--backup::
|
|
use the first valid set of backup roots stored in the superblock
|
|
+
|
|
This can be combined with '--super' if some of the superblocks are damaged.
|
|
|
|
--check-data-csum::
|
|
verify checksums of data blocks
|
|
+
|
|
This expects that the filesystem is otherwise
|
|
OK, so this is basically and offline 'scrub' but does not repair data from
|
|
spare coipes.
|
|
|
|
--chunk-root <bytenr>::
|
|
use the given offset 'bytenr' for the chunk tree root
|
|
|
|
-E|--subvol-extents <subvolid>::
|
|
show extent state for the given subvolume
|
|
|
|
-p|--progress::
|
|
indicate progress at various checking phases
|
|
|
|
--qgroup-report::
|
|
verify qgroup accounting and compare against filesystem accounting
|
|
|
|
-r|--tree-root <bytenr>::
|
|
use the given offset 'bytenr' for the tree root
|
|
|
|
--readonly::
|
|
(default)
|
|
run in read-only mode, this option exists to calm potential panic when users
|
|
are going to run the checker
|
|
|
|
-s|--super <superblock>::
|
|
use 'superblock'th superblock copy, valid values are 0, 1 or 2 if the
|
|
respective superblock offset is within the device size
|
|
+
|
|
This can be used to use a different starting point if some of the primary
|
|
superblock is damaged.
|
|
|
|
DANGEROUS OPTIONS
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
--repair::
|
|
enable the repair mode and attempt to fix problems where possible
|
|
--init-csum-tree::
|
|
create a new checksum tree and recalculate checksums in all files
|
|
+
|
|
NOTE: Do not blindly use this option to fix checksum mismatch problems.
|
|
|
|
--init-extent-tree::
|
|
build the extent tree from scratch
|
|
+
|
|
NOTE: Do not use unless you know what you're doing.
|
|
|
|
