The following reply was made to PR docs/188214; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Allan Jude <allanjude@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, rfg@tristatelogic.com, Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: Re: docs/188214: Manpage for fsck(8) doesn't say what happens when no -t or -T Date: Fri, 23 May 2014 11:39:24 -0400 I have not checked the code to be sure, but from general usage I have noticed that fsck(8) doesn't actually try to detect, or 'taste' the partition, but only looks at /etc/fstab and if the type is not specified, then returns the error. Suggesting that it 'attempts to detect' may give the wrong impression. Someone would have to look at the source of fsck(8) to be sure. -- Allan Jude
