Appendix A \- Fsck_ffs Error Conditions

.NH 2
|
|
Conventions
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Fsck_ffs
|
|
is
|
|
a multi-pass file system check program.
|
|
Each file system pass invokes a different Phase of the
|
|
.I fsck_ffs
|
|
program.
|
|
After the initial setup,
|
|
.I fsck_ffs
|
|
performs successive Phases over each file system,
|
|
checking blocks and sizes,
|
|
path-names,
|
|
connectivity,
|
|
reference counts,
|
|
and the map of free blocks,
|
|
(possibly rebuilding it),
|
|
and performs some cleanup.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Normally
|
|
.I fsck_ffs
|
|
is run non-interactively to
|
|
.I preen
|
|
the file systems after an unclean halt.
|
|
While preen'ing a file system,
|
|
it will only fix corruptions that are expected
|
|
to occur from an unclean halt.
|
|
These actions are a proper subset of the actions that
|
|
.I fsck_ffs
|
|
will take when it is running interactively.
|
|
Throughout this appendix many errors have several options
|
|
that the operator can take.
|
|
When an inconsistency is detected,
|
|
.I fsck_ffs
|
|
reports the error condition to the operator.
|
|
If a response is required,
|
|
.I fsck_ffs
|
|
prints a prompt message and
|
|
waits for a response.
|
|
When preen'ing most errors are fatal.
|
|
For those that are expected,
|
|
the response taken is noted.
|
|
This appendix explains the meaning of each error condition,
|
|
the possible responses, and the related error conditions.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The error conditions are organized by the
|
|
.I Phase
|
|
of the
|
|
.I fsck_ffs
|
|
program in which they can occur.
|
|
The error conditions that may occur
|
|
in more than one Phase
|
|
will be discussed in initialization.
|
|
.NH 2
|
|
Initialization
|
|
.PP
|
|
Before a file system check can be performed, certain
|
|
tables have to be set up and certain files opened.
|
|
This section concerns itself with the opening of files and
|
|
the initialization of tables.
|
|
This section lists error conditions resulting from
|
|
command line options,
|
|
memory requests,
|
|
opening of files,
|
|
status of files,
|
|
file system size checks,
|
|
and creation of the scratch file.
|
|
All the initialization errors are fatal
|
|
when the file system is being preen'ed.
