NAME¶
fsck.s3ql - Check an S3QL file system for errors
SYNOPSIS¶
fsck.s3ql [options] <storage url>
DESCRIPTION¶
S3QL is a file system for online data storage. Before using S3QL, make sure to
consult the full documentation (rather than just the man pages which only
briefly document the available userspace commands).
The
mkfs.s3ql command checks the new file system in the location
specified by
storage url for errors and attempts to repair any
problems. The storage url depends on the backend that is used. The S3QL User's
Guide should be consulted for a description of the available backends.
OPTIONS¶
The
mkfs.s3ql command accepts the following options.
- --log <target>
- Write logging info into this file. File will be rotated
when it reaches 1 MB, and at most 5 old log files will be kept. Specify
none to disable logging. Default: ~/.s3ql/fsck.log
- --cachedir <path>
- Store cached data in this directory (default:
~/.s3ql)
- --authfile <path>
- Read authentication credentials from this file (default:
~/.s3ql/authinfo2)
- --debug <module>
- activate debugging output from <module>. Use
all to get debug messages from all modules. This option can be
specified multiple times.
- --quiet
- be really quiet
- --ssl
- Always use SSL connections when connecting to remote
servers. For backends that allow only encrypted connections, S3QL uses SSL
automatically, even if this option is not set.
- --version
- just print program version and exit
- --batch
- If user input is required, exit without prompting.
- --force
- Force checking even if file system is marked clean.
EXIT STATUS¶
mkfs.s3ql returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some
error occurred.
