DESCRIPTION

fsck.f2fs is used to check an f2fs file system (usually in a disk partition). device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g. /dev/sdXX).

The exit code returned by fsck.f2fs is 0 on success and -1 on failure.

--fault_type=%d configure fault injection type

Support configuring fault injection type, should be enabled with fault_injection option, fault type value is shown below, it supports single or combined type.
