Description

One of a critical components in EOS is fsck, responsible for scanning, verifying, and repairing inconsistencies in the filesystem.

This talk will provide an in-depth exploration of fsck in EOS, covering its architecture, scanning mechanisms, and repair strategies. We will discuss recent improvements, including the introduction of a best-effort mode, and enhancements in erasure-coded file scanning, which significantly boost performance while minimizing the impact on the running instance.
