fsck.s3ql [options] <storage url>
The mkfs.s3ql command checks the new file system in the location specified by storage url for errors and attempts to repair any problems. The storage url depends on the backend that is used. The S3QL User’s Guide should be consulted for a description of the available backends.
The mkfs.s3ql command accepts the following options.
--log <target> Write logging info into this file. File will be rotated when it reaches 1 MB, and at most 5 old log files will be kept. Specify none to disable logging. Default: ~/.s3ql/fsck.log --cachedir <path> Store cached data in this directory (default: ~/.s3ql) --authfile <path> Read authentication credentials from this file (default: ~/.s3ql/authinfo2) --debug <module> activate debugging output from <module>. Use all to get debug messages from all modules. This option can be specified multiple times. --quiet be really quiet --version just print program version and exit --batch If user input is required, exit without prompting. --force Force checking even if file system is marked clean.
mkfs.s3ql returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some error occured.
