File System Questions
A file system check, also known as a filesystem consistency check or fsck, is a process that examines the integrity and consistency of a file system. It scans the file system for errors, such as corrupted data, orphaned files, and incorrect metadata, and attempts to repair them. This check is typically performed during system startup or manually initiated by the user to ensure the file system is in a healthy state and to prevent potential data loss or system instability.
