[Bug 1718244] Re: missing xfs_check in xfs_progs

[Christoph Probst]

xfs_check is deprecated and has been removed from xfsprogs since 2014.

See https://fossies.org/linux/xfsprogs/doc/CHANGES

>  602 xfsprogs-3.2.1 (15 July 2014)
>  [...]
>  606 - xfs_check has been removed

Manpage for fsck.xfs ("do nothing, successfully") still exists and
recommends:

"If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem, or repair a
damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem, see xfs_repair(8)."


Use -n ("No modify mode") with xfs_repair to manually check an XFS filessystem:

xfs_repair -n /dev/device

Title:
  missing xfs_check in xfs_progs

Status in xfsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm trying to check for filesystem errors on an external HDD. But I
  don't find xfs_check. Maybe xfs_check and xfs_repair have been
  unified?

  xfsprogs is installed

  This is the error when I try to run it:

  $sudo xfs_check /dev_sdb1
  sudo: xfs_check: command not found

  $xfs_check /dev_sdb1
  No command 'xfs_check' found, did you mean:
   Command 'xfs_ncheck' from package 'xfsprogs' (main)
  xfs_check: command not found
