A variant of these patches has been merged into trunk. If you could give that a spin, I'd appreciate it.

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

testing with an already mounted filesystem gives:

/dev/VG/lars is mounted. 

WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)?

Testing with a non existing partition gives this output:

dkserver:/etc/vservers/lars# vserver lars start
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
fsck.ext3: Ingen sådan fil eller filkatalog while trying to open /dev/VG/laars

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>



Failed to start vserver 'lars'
dkserver:/etc/vservers/lars# echo $?

man fsck says "exitcode 8 - Operational error"

This patch will fsck the entries in the fstab file for the vserver guest that is in the process of being started. If any fsck fail, it will exit hard and most likely unclean - because I only want to run with a clean filesystem.

This works by telling the normal linux fsck that it should use the fstab file for this particular vserver guest. This means that the normal man fsck and man fstab will apply.


I have tested with 3 clean ext3 filesystems by running the vserver $name start. This gave the normal fsck output for the 3 clean filesystems.

I have not tested with an unclean fs, because i do not have one.
I have not tested with a non existing partition.
I have not tested with a non existing fs on an existing partition.
I have not tested with automated vserver start up.
