From    man 8 fsck.zfs

> … checks the status of a dataset's container pool.  It is installed 
> by OpenZFS because some Linux distributions expect a fsck helper for 
> all filesystems. …

> … if the dataset is in a degraded pool, then fsck.zfs will return 
> exit code 4 to indicate an uncorrected filesystem error. …
