A.4 Background File System Checker Commands

The background file system checker checks the integrity of user ID metadata, directory quota metadata, and files every 90 days. Beginning with OES 2015, this duration has been reduced from 90 days to 30 days. The output goes to the nsscon prompt. There is no built-in report to follow the process of a background check.

Default: On (enabled)
