Operating Systems Solaris Not able to run fsck on root file system Post 302597345 by ningy on Friday 10th of February 2012 03:48:20 AM

i can see the mistakes you are doing here.

fsck should never be run on mounted FS.
There is no need to mount the root FS before fscking.
Unmount and run again.

Also it should be fsck /dev/rdsk/....

Please paste the output also.
