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.

NAME
fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully SYNOPSIS
fsck.xfs [ filesys ... ] DESCRIPTION
fsck.xfs is called by the generic Linux fsck(8) program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem. XFS is a journaling filesystem and performs recovery at mount(8) time if necessary, so fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero exit status. If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem, or repair a damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem, see xfs_check(8) and xfs_repair(8). FILES
/etc/fstab. SEE ALSO
fsck(8), fstab(5), xfs(5), xfs_check(8), xfs_repair(8). fsck.xfs(8)
