fsck without prompting

[Didier Honore]

I would like to include the fsck command in a shell script.

How to reply automaticly yes to all questions to the following command line:

fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vgs1010/lvol1


Thanks


Didier

Hi Didier,

check the man page but I think if you add a -y it takes yes as the answer to any questions.

fsck -y -F vxfs -o full /dev/vgs1010/lvol1

Hi,

Use the -y option in your command line.

Refer to the fsck_vxfs(1M) man page for mor information.


Cheers!

fsck -F vxfs -o full -y

Just include the -y option

Hi

fsck with -y option will do.But recommented to use charecter special device file for the logical volume.

Unmount the filesystem and

fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg00/rlovl1.


regds,
baiju

the -y will do it.
Since you're automating this, you'll need to add a look in the lost+found dir to your script, in case fsck finds a problem, it will place it there under it's inode number as a file name.
If you know about it, you may be able to put it back.

A script:

#!/usr/bin/sh
# example for $1 /dev/vg01/rlvol9
echo "A files system check on parameter 1 is commencing\n"
fsck -F vxfs -o full -y $1

This will do it.
