5.2 Fsck
5.2.2 Superblock consistency
fsck checks for inconsistencies involving file system size, free block count, and free inode count in the superblock. fsck can not independently verify the file system size, but it can check that this size is larger than the sum of the superblock and inode blocks. All other fsck checks require that the file system size and layout information be correct.
