UnixWare bare metal filesystem status report

The status of all filesystemscan be viewed by running the Bare Metal Filesystem Status report. The report shows the name of the filesystem, its mount point, filesystem type, and filesystem status. The desired filesystem status should be CLEAN. Additionally, if the status of a filesystem shows REGULAR FILE or NOT CREATED YET, this implies that the slice representing the filesystem is either damaged or not present in the slice table. The slice can be recreated using the Manager.

Another value for status may be DIRTY - LOG REPLAY NEEDED. In this event, the filesystem must be cleaned. Cleaning the filesystem can be accomplished by using the Experts Menu. The filesystem state may also show as CORRUPTED. This generally means that the filesysetm is beyond repair. If a filesystem has a bad status, try to repair it using the fsck command. If the attempt to clean the filesystem fails, use the Manager to recreate it.

Note: UnixWare 7.1.3 and earlier versions have

on slice 10 while version 7.1.4 has it located on slice 8.
