Subject: [PATCH] xfs_repair is recommended over xfs_check.
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:49:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1321908577-6908-1-git-send-email-arekm@maven.pl> (raw)

I see "use xfs_repair instead of xfs_check" hint on xfs@irc, mailing
lists and other places but the first source of information (xfs_check
man page) doesn't mention this. Improve that.
