fsck_dosfs -- check and repair dosfs filesystems

Synopsis

fsck [-F dosfs] [generic_options] [-m] [-y | -n] special

Description

generic_options are options supported by the generic fsck command.

dosfs-specific options


-F dosfs
Specify the dosfs FSType. If -F dosfs is not specified heuristics similiar to those used by fstyp(1M) are used to determine the file system type.

-y
Assume a yes response to all questions asked by fsck.

-n
Assume a no response to all questions asked by fsck.

Sanity checking only.

The dosfs-specific fsck command checks for the following inconsistencies:
