NAME
     checkfsys - check a file system

SYNOPSIS
     checkfsys

DESCRIPTION
     The checkfsys command allows you to check for and optionally
     repair  a damaged file system.  The command invokes a visual
     interface (the check task available through the sysadm  com-
     mand).   The  initial prompt allows you to select the device
     that contains the filesystem.  Then you are asked to specify
     the type of checking.  The following choices are available:

     check only
          Check the file system.  No repairs are attempted.

     interactive fix
          Repair the file system interactively.  You are informed
          about each instance of damage and asked if it should be
          repaired.

     automatic fix
          Repair the  file  system  automatically.   The  program
          applies a standard repair to each instance of damage.

     The identical function is available under the sysadm menu:

          sysadm check

NOTES
     While automatic and interactive checks  are  generally  suc-
     cessful, they can occasionally lose a file or a file's name.
     Files with content but without names are put  in  the  file-
     system/lost+found directory.  If it is important not to lose
     data, check the file system first to see if it appears to be
     damaged.   If  it does, use one of the repair options of the
     task.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The checkfsys  command  exits  with  one  of  the  following
     values:

     0    Normal exit.

     2    Invalid command syntax.  A usage message is displayed.

     7    The visual interface for this command is not  available
          because  it  cannot  invoke fmli.  (The FMLI package is
          not installed or is corrupted.)
