Figure 5-1. Mounting a Volume
The File System Check Report indicates the number of errors on a diskette. All
values should be zero. Nonzero values indicate file corruption. See the description
of these values and to the DOS events in the log to determine the cause. The most
common cause of file corruption is that DOS was interrupted while writing to the
diskette and was unable to complete its operation. This problem can occur when
the power resets, the router reboots, or slot 2 is reset. You can avoid corrupting
files when performing these tasks by first entering the
unmount
command
(described next), and making sure the system does not respond with an error
message indicating that a file is in use.
