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.
