Checking a File System on a Volume
This procedure checks an unmounted file system on a volume for
consistency (using the fsck command). This procedure can also attempt
to repair the file system, if necessary.
To check a file system on a volume
Step 1. Select the volume containing the file system to be checked.
Step 2. Choose Volumes > File System > Check (Selected menu) or File System
Check (Command Launcher).
Step 3. Complete the Check File System dialog box as follows:
When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box,
click OK.
Volume Name: If the correct volume name is not already displayed in
this field, type the volume’s name or click Browse to
select the volume.
Options To check and attempt to repair the file system, select
Check And Repair.
To check the file system without repairing it, select
Check With No Repair.
To unmount the file system, run fsck, and then
mount the file system, select Unmount And Check,
Then Mount.
To unmount the file system and then run fsck, select
Unmount And Check.
Notes:
The specified volume must contain a file system. The file system
should be unmounted.
The Storage Administrator assumes that fsck will not require user
input. If user input is required, this task fails and fsck must be run
at the command line.
