... sort of: bad blocks, icheck, and Solaris...

offered an answer or explanation. Even in Solaris 2.6 it's not there.
A co-oworker suggested I look into "fsdb", the file system debugger
but a man page on fsdb is pretty content-free. I couldn't see the
functionality. If anyone else knows how to use fsdb to find files
given block numbers please let me know and I'll re-summarize.
I suspect the file system of Solaris 2.x must have changed enough
to force Sun stop supporting "icheck", but I don't really know.
Thanks for the bandwidth,
dan
