.IP "\fB\-\-ignore\-non\-fatal\-errors\fP"
.B thin_check
will only return a non-zero exit code if it finds a fatal
2014-08-06 15:03:23 +05:30
error. An example of a non fatal error is an incorrect data block
2013-05-23 16:27:02 +05:30
reference count causing a block to be considered allocated when it in
fact isn't. Ignoring errors for a long time is not advised, you
really should be using thin_repair to fix them.
