Fs-check monitors the sizes of filesystems to ensure they do not become too full, preventing potential crashes and data loss.
I recently had the opportunity to try out fs-check, a program that is designed to check filesystem sizes to see if they are getting too full. The program uses a configuration file that specifies the filesystems to check, email contacts, trigger thresholds (percentage or amount used/unused), and a report program to run. This configuration file makes it easy to customize the program to meet your specific needs.
One thing that I appreciated about fs-check was the included sample report program, fs-report. This program provides a wealth of information about the filesystems that have been checked, including details about the largest files, the newest files, and core files. This is incredibly helpful when trying to identify potential issues with your filesystems.
Another great feature of fs-check is the ability to run it from cron or as a daemon. This flexibility makes it easy to integrate the program into your existing system and ensures that your filesystems are checked on a regular basis.
Both fs-check and fs-report have a number of command-line options, which can be used to further customize the program. This is particularly helpful if you have specific requirements that are not covered by the default configuration options.
Overall, I found fs-check to be a reliable and easy-to-use program that can help ensure the health and stability of your filesystems. The latest release also addresses some parsing issues with DEFAULT OWNER and --fast in fs-check and fs-report, respectively, which demonstrates the developer's commitment to continually improving the program.
