Checking file systems
I am trying to resurrect an old UNIX server without any joy, I do not have much UNIX experience any I don't understand the messages I am receiving.
The system is telling me that it cannot go multi - user until the following file systems are checked //dev/rroot
It gives me the procedure
1) Check other file systems 1st
2) Execute uadmin 4 128'.
3) Check root file system
4) execute uadmin 1 2' to reboot the file system with no superblock update
If anyone could explain this procedure, it would be of great help
