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.
