git-annex-fsck(1)

NAME

   git-annex-fsck - find and fix problems

SYNOPSIS

   git annex fsck [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

   With   no   parameters,   this  command  checks  the  whole  annex  for
   consistency, and warns about or fixes any problems  found.  This  is  a
   good complement to git fsck.

   With parameters, only the specified files are checked.

OPTIONS

   --from=remote

          Check a remote, rather than the local repository.

          Note  that  by  default, files will be copied from the remote to
          check their contents. To avoid this expensive transfer, and only
          verify  that the remote still has the files that are expected to
          be on it, add the --fast option.

   --fast Avoids expensive checksum calculations (and expensive  transfers
          when fscking a remote).

   --incremental
          Start  a  new  incremental fsck pass. An incremental fsck can be
          interrupted at any time, with eg ctrl-c.

   --more Resume the last incremental fsck pass, where it left off.

          Resuming may redundantly check  some  files  that  were  checked
          before.  Any  files that fsck found problems with before will be
          re-checked on resume. Also,  checkpoints  are  made  every  1000
          files  or every 5 minutes during a fsck, and it resumes from the
          last checkpoint.

   --incremental-schedule=time
          This makes a new incremental fsck be started  only  a  specified
          time period after the last incremental fsck was started.

          The time is in the form "10d" or "300h".

          Maybe  you'd like to run a fsck for 5 hours at night, picking up
          each night where it left off. You'd like this to continue  until
          all files have been fscked. And once it's done, you'd like a new
          fsck pass to start, but no more often than once  a  month.  Then
          put this in a nightly cron job:

           git annex fsck --incremental-schedule 30d --time-limit 5h

   --numcopies=N
          Override the normally configured number of copies.

          To verify data integrity only while disregarding required number
          of copies, use --numcopies=1.

   --all  Normally only the files in the currently checked out branch  are
          fscked.  This  option  causes  all  versions  of all files to be
          fscked.

          This is the default behavior when running git-annex  in  a  bare
          repository.

   --unused
          Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.

   --key=keyname
          Use this option to fsck a specified key.

   file matching options
          The  git-annex-matching-options(1)  can be used to specify files
          to fsck.

   --jobs=N -JN
          Runs multiple fsck jobs in parallel. For example: -J4
