FSCK root file system (/dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/rootvol)
Hi,

I need to fsck the root file system on my Solaris 9 server. It is a UFS file system but it is under Veritas control. I want to know which fsck I need to use to check the file system. The default Solaris fsck (/usr/sbin/fsck) or the Veritas (/lib/fs/vxfs/sparcv9/fsck) fsck? I take it I need to use the veritas fsck?

Also is my procedure for checking the root file system correct?

Bring down server to OK>

OK> boot cdrom -s
Code:
#fsck -F -y ufs /dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/rootvol

Thanks for your help.

You can use the fsck command on the CD just include the '-F vxfs' option.
