Chapter 9: Configure PSFS Filesystems 119

The device can be specified in several ways:

• By the drive letter, such as X:

• By the mount point (junction), such as C:\san\vol2

• By the psd or psv name, such as psd2p2 or psv3

Perform a Filesystem Check

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

psfscheck utility.

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

and then right-click and select Check for Errors.

You will then see a message warning you that data loss can occur if any

files are open while the filesystem is being checked.

When you click Yes, the psfscheck utility is started. It 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.
