19 systemd-fsck@.service, systemd-fsck-root.service, and
20 systemd-fsck-usr.service are services responsible for file system
21 checks. They are instantiated for each device that is configured for
22 file system checking. systemd-fsck-root.service and
23 systemd-fsck-usr.service are responsible for file system checks on the
24 root and /usr file system, respectively, but only if the root
25 filesystem was not checked in the initrd. systemd-fsck@.service is
26 used for all other file systems and for the root file system in the
27 initrd.
28
29 These services are started at boot if passno in /etc/fstab for the file
30 system is set to a value greater than zero, but only if it is also
31 configured to be mounted at boot (i.e. without "noauto" option). The
32 file system check for root is performed before the other file systems.
33 Other file systems may be checked in parallel, except when they are on
34 the same rotating disk.
35
36 systemd-fsck does not know any details about specific filesystems, and
37 simply executes file system checkers specific to each filesystem type
38 (fsck.type). These checkers will decide if the filesystem should
39 actually be checked based on the time since last check, number of
40 mounts, unclean unmount, etc.
41
42 systemd-fsck-root.service and systemd-fsck-usr.service will activate
43 reboot.target if fsck returns the "System should reboot" condition, or
44 emergency.target if fsck returns the "Filesystem errors left
45 uncorrected" condition.
46
47 systemd-fsck@.service will fail if fsck returns with either "System
48 should reboot" or "Filesystem errors left uncorrected" conditions. For
49 filesystems listed in /etc/fstab without "nofail" or "noauto" options,
50 "local-fs.target" will then activate emergency.target.
51
53 systemd-fsck understands these kernel command line parameters:
54
55 fsck.mode=
56 One of "auto", "force", "skip". Controls the mode of operation. The
57 default is "auto", and ensures that file system checks are done
58 when the file system checker deems them necessary. "force"
59 unconditionally results in full file system checks. "skip" skips
60 any file system checks.
61
62 fsck.repair=
63 One of "preen", "yes", "no". Controls the mode of operation. The
64 default is "preen", and will automatically repair problems that can
65 be safely fixed. "yes" will answer yes to all questions by fsck
66 and "no" will answer no to all questions.
