-A will actually read through your /etc/fstab and fsck everything
-A Walk through the /etc/fstab file and try to check all file systems in one
run. This option is typically used from the /etc/rc system initalization
file, instead of multiple commands for checking a single file system.
-a Automatically repair the file system without any questions (use this
option with caution). Note that e2fsck(8) supports -a for backwards
compatibility only. This option is mapped to e2fsck's -p option
which is safe to use, unlike the -a option that most file system
checkers support.
