fsck and disk problems
2007-12-25 11:08:00
Situation:
An Ultra 1 Creator 3D machine running Solaris 2.5.1. This machine has two
internal hard drives as indicated below from the output of df.
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 1828341 374031 1271480 23% /
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s6 4036007 651566 3303721 17% /export/home
swap 402360 200 402160 1% /tmp
/local/proeng/.cfs_mnt_points/snowhite:_opt_proeng
1828336 1281360 364144 78% /opt/proeng
I restarted the machine last night after doing some Pro/E license
management and upon reboot I get the following message:
DKIOCINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device
device:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s6
Then fsck complains about the same disk (c0t1d0s6) and I get the prompt to
run fsck manually on it. Now here is the confusing part: I run fsck on
c0t1d0s6 and no problems are reported. However, fsck does report problems
on c0t0d0s0. I respond appropriately to correct the problems but to no
avail. When the machine reboots it does the same thing all over again and
reports the same bad blocks. I used format to try to repair the bad blocks
but it indicates that they are ok.
I have reformatted and recreated the file system on c0t1d0 but this did not
make a difference. It appears from reading the Answerbook that DKIOCINFO
refers to the disk controller and it's attributes.
The machine is up and running but I would like to fix this problem. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Answer:
I didn't have the raw device name in the "device to fsck" column of
/etc/vfstab.
