fsck_vxfs initiation phase
The ``initiation phase'' of
fsck
interprets the command line
and decides which functions to perform.
The operations of this phase are as follows:
-
Superblock verification is initiated
to determine if the filesystem is a valid
VxFS
filesystem.
If the filesystem is not a valid
VxFS
filesystem,
fsck
prints a message and then exits.
The error message might look like this:
(invalid superblock magic 00000000)
-
If the command line specifies sanity check
(-m option), the sanity check is initiated.
Sanity Check exits when complete.
-
The state of the filesystem is checked.
-
Intent log replay is initiated
unless one of the following is true:
-
The filesystem state is CLEAN.
-
The
-n
option was specified.
-
The superblock indicates that
the intent log is damaged.
-
The
-o nolog
option was specified.
-
Full filesystem check is initiated
if one of the following is true:
-
The
-n
option was specified.
-
The filesystem state is not mountable after intent log replay
has run and the
-y
option was specified.
-
The
-o full
option was specified.
