Using \fBfsck.minix\fP on a mounted filesystem is very dangerous, due to the possibility that deleted files are still in use, and can seriously damage a perfectly good filesystem! If you absolutely have to run \fBfsck.minix\fP on a mounted filesystem, such as the root filesystem, make sure nothing is writing to the disk, and that no files are "zombies" waiting for deletion. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.sp +\fB\-l\fP, \fB\-\-list\fP +.RS 4 +List all filenames. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-r\fP, \fB\-\-repair\fP +.RS 4 +Perform interactive repairs. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-a\fP, \fB\-\-auto\fP +.RS 4 +Perform automatic repairs.
