FSCK.VMFS6(8)

💖 FSCK.VMFS6 — the vmfs-tools girlies know 💖

okay so bestie, this is the fsck.vmfs6 manual page, straight out of vmfs-tools. it's a whole section 8 situation (that's the system-admin corner of the man universe, iykyk). grab a snack, we're checking file systems 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

fsck.vmfs6 — the VMFS6 file system check utility. she checks, she verifies, she slays 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fsck.vmfs6 VOLUME...

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one or more VOLUMEs, and off you go ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? fsck.vmfs6 runs a bunch of integrity checks on a VMFS6 file system. think of it like a vibe check but for your filesystem 🫶

the VOLUME you wanna open can be either a block device or an image file — she's flexible like that, no judgment 💅

🚨 important bestie alert: when the VMFS spreads across several extents, you have to give her all the extents. every single one. no leaving one at home. fr fr.
