View Filesystem Errors for a Server

The Management Console can display information about the last error or

event that occurred on a particular filesystem mount. To see the

information, select the filesystem and then select the server. Right-click,

and select View Last Error.

Check a Filesystem for Errors

If a filesystem is not unmounted cleanly, the journal will be replayed the

next time the filesystem is mounted to restore consistency. You should

seldom need to check the filesystem. However, if a filesystem was

corrupted by a hardware or software failure, you can repair it with the

psfsck utility.

To run the utility from the Management Console, select the filesystem,

which must be unmounted, and then right-click and select Check for

Errors. The utility runs in read-only mode and does not replay the journal

or fix any corruption.

We recommend that you let the check run to completion. Canceling the

check can potentially leave your filesystem in a corrupted state.
