no other changes will be made to the filesystem.)
-p Automatically repair ("preen") the file system
without any questions.
-r This option does nothing at all; it is provided
only for backwards compatibility.
-s This option will byte-swap the filesystem so that
it is using the normalized, standard byte-order
(which is i386 or little endian). If the filesys
tem is already in the standard byte-order, e2fsck
will take no action.
-S This option will byte-swap the filesystem, regard
less of its current byte-order.
-t Print timing statistics for e2fsck. If this option
is used twice, additional timing statistics are
printed on a pass by pass basis.
-v Verbose mode.
-V Print version information and exit.
-y Assume an answer of ‘yes’ to all questions; allows
e2fsck to be used non-interactively.

ing conditions:
0 - No errors

be rebooted
4 - File system errors left uncorrected
8 - Operational error
16 - Usage or syntax error
32 - E2fsck canceled by user request
128 - Shared library error
