How to perfom fsck on run level s

[Yaroki]

I have an HP machine B2000 (b .10.20).

Recently, it performs independent boots.

When the system brings up it asks to run fsck.

As much as I know it is better to do it on run level s. I tried to do it unsuccessfully.

I used:

/sbin/fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg00/lvol??

or

fsck -yl /dev/vg00/lvol??

Can someone tells me what is the correct command or how to do it right?

BR,

You will first need to activate the VG

vgchange -a y /dev/vg00

Then run the fsck

fsck -y -o full /dev/vg00/lvol?

When I run the command

vgchange -a y /dev/vg00 it says

volume group /dev/vg00 does not exist in /etc/lvmtab.

cat /etc/lvmtab shows:

h/dev/vg00w!9HJ/dev/dsk/c2t6do#

Hello,

Please, if you have any suggestion I will be more than glad to hear.

To get info from /etc/lvmtab, since it's binary, use:

strings  /etc/lvmtab

While vg00 is the normal root VG, you can see all of your (activated) VG names with:

vgdisplay  |  grep  Name

fsck should work fine on an unmounted file system. Single user or LVM maintenance modes might be needed if the LV is needed by the OS.
