fsck_s5 Phase 5: check free List

This phase checks the free-block list. It reports error conditions resulting from:

Types of error messages - fsck_s5 Phase 5

Phase 5 has four types of error messages:

fsck_s5 Phase 5 error messages


EXCESSIVE BAD BLKS IN FREE LIST (CONTINUE?)
The free-block list contains too many blocks with a value less than the first data block in the filesystem or greater than the last block in the filesystem. If the -p option is specified the program terminates.

EXCESSIVE DUP BLKS IN FREE LIST (CONTINUE?)
The free-block list contains too many blocks claimed by inodes or earlier parts of the free block list. If the -p option is specified the program terminates.

BAD FREEBLK COUNT
The count of free blocks in a free block list is greater than 50 or less than 0. This condition generates the BAD FREE LIST message later in Phase 5.

X BAD BLKS IN FREE LIST
X blocks in the free-block list have a block number lower than the first data block in the filesystem or greater than the last block in the filesystem. This condition generates the BAD FREE LIST message later in Phase 5.

X DUP BLKS IN FREE LIST
X blocks claimed by inodes or earlier parts of the free block list were found in the free-block list. This condition generates the BAD FREE LIST message later in Phase 5.

X BLK(S) MISSING
X blocks unused by the filesystem were not found in the free-block list. This condition generates the BAD FREE LIST message later in Phase 5.

FREE BLK COUNT WRONG IN SUPERBLOCK (FIX?)
The actual count of free blocks does not match the count of free blocks in the superblock of the filesystem. If the -p option was specified, the free block count in the superblock is fixed automatically.

BAD FREE LIST (SALVAGE?)
This message is always preceded by one or more of the Phase 5 informational messages. If the -q or -p option was specified, the free-block list is salvaged automatically.
