The ``--max-duration`` option can be used to split a long-running repository check
|
||||
into multiple partial checks. After the given number of seconds the check is
|
||||
interrupted. The next partial check will continue where the previous one stopped,
|
||||
until the complete repository has been checked. Example: Assuming a full check took 7
|
||||
until the complete repository has been checked. Example: Assuming a complete check took 7
|
||||
hours, then running a daily check with --max-duration=3600 (1 hour) resulted in one
|

full check per week.

completed check per week.

Attention: Partial checks can only do way less checking than a full check (only the
|
||||
CRC32 checks on segment file entries are done), and cannot be combined with the
|
||||
``--repair`` option. Partial checks may therefore be useful only with very large
|
||||
repositories where a full check took too long. Doing a full repository check aborts a
|
||||
partial check; the next partial check will restart from the beginning.
|

Attention: A partial --repository-only check can only do way less checking than a full
|
||||
--repository-only check: only the non-cryptographic checksum checks on segment file
|
||||
entries are done, while a full --repository-only check would also do a repo index check.

The ``--verify-data`` option will perform a full integrity verification (as opposed to

checking the CRC32 of the segment) of data, which means reading the data from the
