Check and repair options

The following check and repair options are available for all filesystem types (except NFS, SCO Gateway for NetWare, DOS, HS, ISO9660, and Rockridge filesystems):

Check Filesystem Before Mounting

• Always

• Never

• Only if Dirty

What to do if Corrupted

• Automatic repair

  This is equivalent to responding ``yes'' to fsck prompts.

• Do not repair

  This is equivalent to responding ``no'' to fsck prompts.

---

NOTE: When you use the Filesystem Manager, the filesystem check and repair process is non-interactive. To check and repair your filesystems interactively, use fsck(ADM) from the command line.

Type of Checking

• Full Check

  Performs all five filesystem check phases. See ``Filesystem check phases (HTFS, EAFS, AFS, S51K)''.

• Fast Check

  Performs Phase 1 (Check Blocks and Sizes) and Phase 5 (Check Free List Bitmap) only.

Create lost+found directory if none exists

Creates the lost+found directory, where fsck places unreferenced files. See filesystem check Phase 3.

This option is not available for XENIX filesystems.
