# fsck.nfs(8)

Dummy fsck.nfs script that always returns success.

## NAME

fsck.nfs - Dummy fsck.nfs script that always returns success.

## SYNOPSIS

**fsck.nfs**

## DESCRIPTION

Debian GNU/Linux need this for when the root file system is on NFS: there is no way to find out if root is NFS mounted and we really want to do a "fsck -a /".

## EXIT CODE

The exit code returned by **mount.nfs** is always zero, meaning successful completion.
