fsck error summary.

2007-12-25 10:31:00

dear sun managers,

thanks a lot to

jason axley, steven taggart and srinivasan ganeshan for their i/p.

i was able to reboot my m/c from the cdrom drive and run fsck on the

root"/"; and this time it did not give me any errors! (don't know why!) the

m/c is working fine.

also i was unable to find any answer to finding the file from the inode in

case of an error for an "unref file...". also the strange thing is i am

still perplexed as to the root cause of the problem!

============ original problem ===================================

dear sun managers,

i have a solaris 2.5.1/ sparc m/c. the m/c suffered a crash recently and

on a hard reboot gave me fsck errors.i had to manually run fsck and

correct some of the errors. i have 2 questions:

1. i have not corrected an error of the type

" unref file I = 170980 owner = root, mode =100555 .. et al". this is

because i am not sure what file this inode is asociated with. how do i

figure the file associated with this inode? and do i go ahead and allow

the fsck to clear this error without any precautions?

2. whenever i do "fsck -m /" i get conflicting or random messages.

sometimes i get the messages " ..needs checking". sometimes i have got

the message " ..is clean or ok"! i am a liitle bit confused as to whether

i should still go ahead and allow fsck to correct these errors. also i am

unsure as to the root cause of these errors in the first place. my

/var/adm/messages file does not seem to have any memory or hardware

Got something to say?
