.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIFsck*\fR performs consistency checks on the file systems which reside 
on the specified devices.  
When either the \fB\-a\fR or \fB\-r\fR flags are given, the file system
will be repaired if errors are found.
Before running \fIfsck*\fR on a mounted file system, it must first be unmounted.
Trying to repair a mounted file system is dangerous and should not be 
attempted.
