NAME
        reiserfsck - check a Linux Reiserfs file system
 
SYNOPSIS
        reiserfsck  [  -arvixoV  ] [ -l logfilename ] [ --rebuild-
        tree ] [ --check ] [ --rebuild-sb ] [ --interactive ] [
         --logfile  logfilename ] [ --fix-fixable ] device
 
DESCRIPTION
        It looks for reiserfs  filesystem  on  a  device,  replays
        transactions  which are to be replayed and either check or
        repair the filesystem
 
        device is the special file  corresponding  to  the  device
               (e.g  /dev/hdXX for IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX
               for SCSI disk partition).
 
OPTIONS
        --check
               This  checks  filesystem  consistency.  This  is  a
               default  action.  It  may  be  used on a filesystem
               mounted read-only
 
        --rebuild-tree
               This rebuilds  filesystem  tree  using  leaf  nodes
               found  on  the  device.  Normally,  you do not need
               this, but if you have  to  rebuild  tree  -  please
               backup  whole  partition first or at least the most
               important data if you can mount the partition.
 
        --rebuild-sb
 
        --interactive, -i
               This makes reiserfsck to stop after each pass  com­
               pleted.
 
        --quiet, -q
               have reiserfsck to not reflect its progress
 
        --nolog, -n
               have reiserfsck to not log anything
 
        --logfile filename, -l  filename
               have reiserfsck to put info about found corruptions
               in logfile rather than on stderr
 
        --fix-fixable, -x
               have reiserfsck to recover corruptions which can be
               fixed w/o --rebuild-tree when it is runnig in check
               mode. Corruptions which can be fixed  so  far:  bad
               pointers  to data blocks, wrong directory's st_size
               and  st_blocks,  directories  entries  pointing  to
               nowhere can be deleted
 
        --fix-non-critical, -o
               have  reiserfsck  to  fix: file sizes when they are
               bigger than real file size, set file mode to  regu­
               lar  file  when  mode  looks  wrong  and  to try to
               recover "objectid sharing" problem
 
        -a     When it is set -  reiserfsck  assumes  that  it  is
               called   by  fsck  -A  and  just  returns  even  if
               filesystem seems not umounted cleanly
 
        -r     ignored
 
        -V     Prints version and exits
