PROGRAM:
NAME
GROK-FSCK - Check mirrored repositories for corruption
SYNOPSIS
grok-fsck -c /path/to/fsck.conf
DESCRIPTION
Git repositories can get corrupted whether they are frequently updated or not, which is
why it is useful to routinely check them using "git fsck". Grokmirror ships with a
"grok-fsck" utility that will run "git fsck" on all mirrored git repositories. It is
supposed to be run nightly from cron, and will do its best to randomly stagger the checks
so only a subset of repositories is checked each night. Any errors will be sent to the
user set in MAILTO.
OPTIONS
--version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose
Be verbose and tell us what you are doing
-f, --force
Force immediate run on all repositories.
-c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
Location of fsck.conf
EXAMPLES
Locate fsck.conf and modify it to reflect your needs. The default configuration file is
heavily commented.
Set up a cron job to run nightly and to email any discovered errors to root:
# Make sure MAILTO is set, for error reports
MAILTO=root
# Run nightly, at 2AM
00 02 * * * mirror /usr/bin/grok-fsck -c /etc/grokmirror/fsck.conf
You can force a full run using the -f flag, but unless you only have a few smallish git
repositories, it's not recommended, as it may take several hours to complete.
Use grok-fsck online using onworks.net services
