+.SH NAME
+xfs_scrub \- check and repair the contents of a mounted XFS filesystem
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B xfs_scrub
+[
+.B \-abCemnTvx
+]
+.I mount-point
+.br
+.B xfs_scrub \-V
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B xfs_scrub
+attempts to check and repair all metadata in a mounted XFS filesystem.
+.PP
+.B WARNING!
+This program is
+.BR EXPERIMENTAL ","
+which means that its behavior and interface
+could change at any time!
+.PP
+.B xfs_scrub
+asks the kernel to scrub all metadata objects in the filesystem.
+Metadata records are scanned for obviously bad values and then
+cross-referenced against other metadata.
+The goal is to establish a reasonable confidence about the consistency
+of the overall filesystem by examining the consistency of individual
+metadata records against the other metadata in the filesystem.
+Damaged metadata can be rebuilt from other metadata if there exists
+redundant data structures which are intact.
+.PP
+Filesystem corruption and optimization opportunities will be logged to
+the standard error stream.
+Enabling verbose mode will increase the amount of status information
+sent to the output.
+.PP
+If the kernel scrub reports that metadata needs repairs or optimizations and
+the user does not pass
+.B -n
+on the command line, this program will ask the kernel to make the repairs and
+to perform the optimizations.
+See the sections about optimizations and repairs for a list of optimizations
+and repairs known to this program.
+The kernel may not support repairing or optimizing the filesystem.
+If this is the case, the filesystem must be unmounted and
+.BR xfs_repair (8)
+run on the filesystem to fix the problems.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-a " errors"
+Abort if more than this many errors are found on the filesystem.
+.TP
+.B \-b
+Run in background mode.
+If the option is specified once, only run a single scrubbing thread at a
+time.
+If given more than once, an artificial delay of 100us is added to each
+scrub call to reduce CPU overhead even further.
+.TP
+.BI \-C " fd"
+This option causes xfs_scrub to write progress information to the
+specified file description so that the progress of the filesystem check
+can be monitored.
+If the file description is a tty, a fancy progress bar is rendered.
+Otherwise, a simple numeric status dump compatible with the
+.B fsck -C
+format is output.
+.TP
+.B \-e
+Specifies what happens when errors are detected.
+If
+.IR shutdown
+is given, the filesystem will be taken offline if errors are found.
+If
+.IR continue
+is given, no action is taken if errors are found; this is the default
+behavior.
+.TP
+.B \-k
+Do not call TRIM on the free space.
+.TP
+.BI \-m " file"
+Search this file for mounted filesystems instead of /etc/mtab.
+.TP
+.B \-n
+Only check filesystem metadata.
+Do not repair or optimize anything.
+.TP
+.BI \-T
+Print timing and memory usage information for each phase.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Enable verbose mode, which prints periodic status updates.
+.TP
+.B \-V
+Prints the version number and exits.
+.TP
+.B \-x
+Read all file data extents to look for disk errors.
+.B xfs_scrub
+will issue O_DIRECT reads to the block device directly.
+If the block device is a SCSI disk, it will instead issue READ VERIFY commands
+directly to the disk.
+If media errors are found, the error report will include the disk offset, in
+bytes.
+If the media errors affect a file, the report will also include the inode
+number and file offset, in bytes.
+These actions will confirm that all file data blocks can be read from storage.
+.SH OPTIMIZATIONS
+Optimizations supported by this program include, but are not limited to:
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Instructing the underlying storage to discard unused extents via the
+.B TRIM
+ioctl.
+.IP \[bu]
+Updating secondary superblocks to match the primary superblock.
+.IP \[bu]
+Turning off shared block write checks for files that no longer share blocks.
+.SH REPAIRS
+Repairs are performed by calling into the kernel.
+This limits the scope of repair activities to rebuilding primary data
+structures from secondary data structures, or secondary structures from
+primary structures.
+The existence of secondary data structures may require features that can
+only be turned on from
+.BR mkfs.xfs (8).
+If errors cannot be repaired, the filesystem must be
+unmounted and
+.BR xfs_repair (8)
+run.
+Repairs supported by the kernel include, but are not limited to:
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Reconstructing extent allocation data.
+.IP \[bu]
+Rebuilding free space information.
+.IP \[bu]
+Rebuilding inode indexes.
+.IP \[bu]
+Fixing minor corruptions of inode records.
+.IP \[bu]
+Recalculating reference count information.
+.IP \[bu]
+Reconstructing reverse mapping data from primary extent allocation data.
+.IP \[bu]
+Scheduling a quotacheck for the next mount.
+.PP
+If corrupt metadata is successfully repaired, this program will log that
+a repair has succeeded instead of a corruption report.
+.SH EXIT CODE
+The exit code returned by
+.B xfs_scrub
+is the sum of the following conditions:
+.br
+\ 0\ \-\ No errors
+.br
+\ 1\ \-\ File system errors left uncorrected
+.br
+\ 2\ \-\ File system optimizations possible
+.br
+\ 4\ \-\ Operational error
+.br
+\ 8\ \-\ Usage or syntax error
+.br
+.SH CAVEATS
+.B xfs_scrub
+is an immature utility!
+Do not run this program unless you have backups of your data!
+This program takes advantage of in-kernel scrubbing to verify a given
+data structure with locks held and can keep the filesystem busy for a
+long time.
+The kernel must be new enough to support the SCRUB_METADATA ioctl.
+.PP
+If errors are found and cannot be repaired, the filesystem must be
+unmounted and repaired.
