DESCRIPTION

     Fsck* performs consistency checks on the file systems which reside on the
     specified  devices.  When  either  the -a or -r flags are given, the file
     system will be repaired if errors are found.  Before running fsck*  on  a
     mounted  file  system,  it  must  first be unmounted.  Trying to repair a
     mounted file system is dangerous and should not be attempted.
