How does the fsck utility verify file system integrity?

What will be an ideal response?


The fsck utility takes the name of the file system as an argument to monitor its status. The superblock contains a flag that informs the kernel whether the file system has been mounted correctly. If it is, it's flagged as clean; if it's not, it's flagged as not clean. When the system is started, the flag is read, and if it's not clean, the fsck utility runs.
