✨ FSCK.VMFS(8) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for fsck.vmfs, one of the lil icons hanging out in the vmfs-tools family 💖 it is, and I cannot stress this enough, the VMFS file system check utility. she checks things. she verifies things. she is the vibe check for your VMFS.

🌸 NAME 🌸

fsck.vmfs — VMFS file system check utility 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fsck.vmfs VOLUME...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea, bestie: fsck.vmfs performs various integrity checks on a VMFS file system ✨ like, it goes through and makes sure everything's actually where it says it is. lowkey important. highkey the whole point of her existence.

the VOLUME you want opened can be either a block device or an image file — she's flexible like that, she's not gonna gatekeep 💅

and here's the part where you have to pay attention, fr fr: when the VMFS spreads accross several extents, all extents must be given. all of them. every single one. no leaving one at home, that's not the move 🙈

👑 AUTHORS 👑

these two legends made her happen, show some respect 💜

not me giving you the full rundown of a manpage like it's a group chat. anyway. go check your file systems, bestie, they deserve it 💖

and that's a wrap on the source/version + date situation: this one's 0.2.5-patched, dated 04/01/2024 — periodt, no cap, she ate and left no crumbs 👑✨🦋
