+.SH "NAME"
+fsck.minix \- check consistency of Minix filesystem
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBfsck.minix\fP [options] \fIdevice\fP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+\fBfsck.minix\fP performs a consistency check for the Linux MINIX filesystem.
+.sp
+The program assumes the filesystem is quiescent. \fBfsck.minix\fP should not be used on a mounted device unless you can be sure nobody is writing to it. Remember that the kernel can write to device when it searches for files.
+.sp
+The \fIdevice\fP name will usually have the following form:
+.RS 3
+.ll -.6i
+.TS
+allbox tab(:);
+lt lt.

+.sp
+If the filesystem was changed, i.e., repaired, then \fBfsck.minix\fP will print "FILE SYSTEM HAS BEEN CHANGED" and will \fBsync\fP(2) three times before exiting. There is \fIno\fP need to reboot after check.
+.SH "WARNING"
+.sp
+\fBfsck.minix\fP should \fBnot\fP be used on a mounted filesystem. 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\-a\fP, \fB\-\-auto\fP
+.RS 4
+Perform automatic repairs. This option implies \fB\-\-repair\fP and serves to answer all of the questions asked with the default. Note that this can be extremely dangerous in the case of extensive filesystem damage.

+Activate MINIX\-like "mode not cleared" warnings.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-f\fP, \fB\-\-force\fP
+.RS 4
+Force a filesystem check even if the filesystem was marked as valid. Marking is done by the kernel when the filesystem is unmounted.

+.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
+.sp
+There are numerous diagnostic messages. The ones mentioned here are the most commonly seen in normal usage.
+.sp
+If the device does not exist, \fBfsck.minix\fP will print "unable to read super block". If the device exists, but is not a MINIX filesystem, \fBfsck.minix\fP will print "bad magic number in super\-block".
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.sp
+The exit status returned by \fBfsck.minix\fP is the sum of the following:
+.sp
+\fB0\fP
+.RS 4
+No errors
+.RE
