Checking a File System
The Check File System procedure checks an unmounted file system for
consistency (using the fsck command). See the fsck_vxfs (1M) manual
page for more information on file system checking.
To check a file system on a volume
Step 1. Select the volume containing the file system to be checked.
Step 2. Choose Actions > File System > Check File System.
Step 3. Click Yes in the Check File System dialog to confirm that you want the
file system checked.
To check any file system
Step 1. Select the file system to be checked.
Step 2. Choose Actions > Check File System.
Step 3. Click Yes in the Check File System dialog to confirm that you want the
file system checked.
NOTE
• The file system must be unmounted.
• VxVM assumes that fsck does not require user input. If user input is
required, this task fails and fsck must be run at the command line.
