Default Re: How do I fsck the root partition (/)

Ont hing you can tyr is

# fsck -n /dev/vg00/lvolxx (probably lovl3)

The -n does a read-only fsck and will not change anything. You can do
it on a live system. Look at the output. If there are no problems,
then you are fine.

Also, the system does an fsck of / if you cycle power. To be on the
safe side, boot to single user, and then cycle power.

There is probably a more straight forward way, maybe booting in lv
maintenance mode, but I cannot think of what it is off the top of my
head.

BTW, I used to do backline HP-UX support, ott, so the guy from Veritas
is free to flame me 8-) 8-)
