-i interval[d|w|m]

Specify the maximum interval between filesystem checks. Units may be in days (d), weeks (w), or months (m). If interval is 0, checking will not be time-dependent.

-j

Add an ext3 journal to the filesystem. If specified without -J, use the default journal parameters.

-J jrnl-options

Specify ext3 journal parameters as a comma-separated list of option=value pairs. The specified options override the default values. Only one size or device option can be specified for a filesystem. Possible options are:
