fsck(8) and fsck_ffs(8) now support background filesystem checks to
mounted FFS filesystems with the -B option (softupdates must be
enabled on these filesystems). The -F flag now determines whether a
specified filesystem needs foreground checking.
fsck(8) now has support for foreground (-F) and background (-B)
checks. Traditionally, fsck(8) is invoked before the filesystems are
mounted and all checks are done to completion at that time. If
background checking is available, fsck(8) is invoked twice. It is
first invoked at the traditional time, before the filesystems are
mounted, with the -F flag to do checking on all the filesystems that
cannot do background checking. It is then invoked a second time,
after the system has completed going multiuser, with the -B flag to do
checking on all the filesystems that can do background checking.
Unlike the foreground checking, the background checking is started
asynchonously so that other system activity can proceed even on the
filesystems that are being checked.
Catching up with most other network utilities in the base system,
lpr(1), lpd(8), syslogd(8), and logger(1) are now all IPv6-capable.
