[SunHELP] fsck on root question

[flim at acamus.com]

Dear Admins,

I am running Solaris 7. The root partition is a metadevice, is it possible
to fsck the metadevice booting from cdrom?

#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount
mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot
options
#
#/dev/dsk/c1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2 /usr          ufs     1       yes     -
fd      -       /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
/proc   -       /proc   proc    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d8  /dev/md/rdsk/d8 /       ufs     1       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d9  /dev/md/rdsk/d9 /var    ufs     1       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d11 /dev/md/rdsk/d11        /export/home    ufs     2       yes
-
/dev/md/dsk/d10 /dev/md/rdsk/d10        /opt    ufs     2       yes     -
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -

Thanks!

Frederick

Dear Trush
fsck MUST be used with the unmount,inactive partition.
So you can't fsck on root partition
unless boot from other source Ex. cdrom
What u need to do is
boot from cdrom in single mode the fsck it.
that's it.

Hope this help
Pat.

Sun admins,

I continutally get a fsck failure on root, it gets
fixed, then re-occurs again.  How can I fix permanently?
