fsck

Unix/Linux program which can check and repair corrupt file systems, short for “file system check” .  With the release of journaled file systems (such as EXT3 and JFS), this utilitiy is not needed as often.  A Unix file system can corrupt when it is not shutdown properly, often times due to a power outage.
