Name

monitored-fsck — run fsck linked to an external progress monitor

Synopsis

monitored-fsck {args}

Description

monitored-fsck is a chain-loading utility that arranges to run fsck(8) linked to an external progress monitoring service. It chain loads to fsck(8) with the execvp(3) function passing args through unchanged.

The monitoring capability depends from the abilities of the fsck(8) program. On the BSDs, it has no monitoring plug-in mechanism. On Linux, the monitoring is done by opening a client stream to the /run/fsck.progress local domain socket and passing the -Cfd command line option to fsck where fd is the number of the open file descriptor for that client.
