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 filesys-
	      tem seems not umounted cleanly

       -r     ignored

       -V     Prints version and exits
