fsck

Check the integrity of a filesystem or repair it. The filesystem should be unmounted at the time the command is run.

• Check filesystem `/dev/sdXN`, reporting any damaged blocks:

sudo fsck {/dev/sdXN}

• Check filesystem `/dev/sdXN`, reporting any damaged blocks and interactively letting the user choose to repair each one:

sudo fsck -r {/dev/sdXN}

• Check filesystem `/dev/sdXN`, reporting any damaged blocks and automatically repairing them:

sudo fsck -a {/dev/sdXN}
