https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D234954 Bug ID: 234954 Summary: fsck -T flag suffers from ufs/ffs filesystem type ambiguity Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ian@FreeBSD.org The fsck(8) -T option is used to route options to the filesystem-specific programs it runs. The fsck(8) wrapper program gleans the name of the filesystem type from a variety of sources... on the commandline, from fstab, from geom info, etc. From some sources of info it decides a filesystem is = ufs, from other sources it translates ufs to ffs. This means that you can't reliably specify either -T ufs: or -T ffs: and be sure that the option will take effect. fsck(8) should probably translate everything (-T names and filesystem type names) to either ufs or ffs, but a= fter poking around a bit in the code, it appears that this translation has to ha= ppen in many scattered locations. A workaround is available, by specifying the option(s) you want twice, using both of the filesystem type names. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
