Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 Failsafe mode advantages and disadvantages Post 302981765 by hicksd8 on Monday 19th of September 2016 07:00:32 AM

You cannot fsck a mounted filesystem so when possible (subject to running applications and users) you would simply 'umount' a filesystem (provided it's not / (root) or /usr) and then fsck it.

If it's the root filesystem then I'd normally take the system down and boot from DVD

Code:
boot cdrom -s

into single user. Then fsck root and/or usr filesystems. Booting this way means the hard disk root filesystem is not mounted when running fsck as the system root is the DVD.

Doing a read-only fsck "-n" is recommended to see how much damage there is.
