fsck on /usr file system

[HutchAdmin]

Can anyone tell me the process of running fsck on /usr filesystem

[G. Vrijhoeven]

Hi,

To run fsck the filesystem needs to be umounted.

So
#fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg00/rlvol

Hi,

tough fsck is in /usr/sbin/ it is linked to /sbin/fs_wrapper so available if /usr is not mounted.

Hi,

You can umount /usr and run fsck command but best way is the boot system in single user mode and run

fsck is available in /sbin too

#/sbin/fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg00/lvolnn

Hi,

You do just give the command fsck. /sbin/fsck is also linked to /sbin/fs_wrapper. I never had problems with it.

Hi,

I naver used fs_wrapper command directly.

You can see man pages for details

#man fs_wrapper

Either umount /usr (if possible, probably not), or boot to single-user mode (most likely required), and just

# fsck [options] /dev/vg00/lvol7 (or whichever lvol /usr happens to live on).

If your /usr filesystem is in really bad shape, you may need to do a:

# fsck -y -o full /dev/vg00/lvol7

Share & Enjoy.
