full file system check

[Igor Sovin]

Proceeding fsck command i got this error:

# fsck /dev/vgNW1/usrsapNW1
vxfs fsck: file system had I/O error(s) on meta-data.
log replay in progress
log replay failed to clean file system
file system is not clean, full fsck required
full file system check required, exiting ...

How to do full filesystem check?

Hi Posatskov,

#fsck -F fstype -o full /dev/vgxx/rlvolx

Option Description

-F Type of file system. Use vxfs for the JFS and hfs for the HFS file systems. You may also use the fsck_vxfs command for the JFS file system and fsck_hfs for the HFS file system.

-n Assumes a "no" answer for fsck questions.

-y Assumes a "yes" answer for fsck questions.

-b Tells fsck to use an alternate superblock. The alternate superblocks are listed in the /var/adm/sbtab file. If this file is not accessible, use number 16, which is always the first alternate superblock (HFS only).

-f Forces fsck to run on a mounted file system (HFS only).

-o full Forces fsck to make a full check of the metadata instead of just replaying the intent log (JFS only).

-o nolog Prevents intent log replay (JFS only).
