NAME
       systemd-fsck@.service, systemd-fsck-root.service, systemd-fsck-
       usr.service, systemd-fsck - File system checker logic

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-fsck@.service

       systemd-fsck-root.service

       systemd-fsck-usr.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-fsck

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-fsck@.service, systemd-fsck-root.service, and
       systemd-fsck-usr.service are services responsible for file system
       checks. They are instantiated for each device that is configured for
       file system checking.  systemd-fsck-root.service and
       systemd-fsck-usr.service are responsible for file system checks on the
       root and /usr file system, respectively, but only if the root
       filesystem was not checked in the initrd.  systemd-fsck@.service is
       used for all other file systems and for the root file system in the
       initrd.

       These services are started at boot if passno in /etc/fstab for the file
       system is set to a value greater than zero, but only if it is also
       configured to be mounted at boot (i.e. without "noauto" option). The
       file system check for root is performed before the other file systems.
       Other file systems may be checked in parallel, except when they are on
       the same rotating disk.

       systemd-fsck does not know any details about specific filesystems, and
       simply executes file system checkers specific to each filesystem type
       (fsck.type). These checkers will decide if the filesystem should
       actually be checked based on the time since last check, number of
       mounts, unclean unmount, etc.

       systemd-fsck-root.service and systemd-fsck-usr.service will activate
       reboot.target if fsck returns the "System should reboot" condition, or
       emergency.target if fsck returns the "Filesystem errors left
       uncorrected" condition.

       systemd-fsck@.service will fail if fsck returns with either "System
       should reboot" or "Filesystem errors left uncorrected" conditions. For
       filesystems listed in /etc/fstab without "nofail" or "noauto" options,
       "local-fs.target" will then activate emergency.target.

KERNEL COMMAND LINE
       systemd-fsck understands these kernel command line parameters:

       fsck.mode=
           One of "auto", "force", "skip". Controls the mode of operation. The
           default is "auto", and ensures that file system checks are done
           when the file system checker deems them necessary.  "force"
           unconditionally results in full file system checks.  "skip" skips
           any file system checks.

       fsck.repair=
           One of "preen", "yes", "no". Controls the mode of operation. The
           default is "preen", and will automatically repair problems that can
           be safely fixed.  "yes" will answer yes to all questions by fsck
           and "no" will answer no to all questions.
