I can't give you any comments on the other stuff you mentioned, but most
linux scripts run /sbin/fsck.$filesystem to check if it's alright. So,
if it's an XFS filesystem, it will run /sbin/fsck.xfs to check it.
Because the XFS system checks the filesystem on mount
time, /sbin/fsck.xfs is rather useless. That's why it doesn't really do
anything. The manual even states so:
-- NAME
fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully
SYNOPSIS
fsck.xfs [ ...]
DESCRIPTION
fsck.xfs is called by the generic Linux fsck(8) program at startup to
check and repair an XFS filesystem. XFS is a journaling filesystem
and performs recovery at mount(8) time if necessary, so fsck.xfs simply
exits with a zero exit status.
