  NAME

    checkfsys - Checks a file system on a removable disk

  SYNOPSIS

    checkfsys

  DESCRIPTION

    The checkfsys command allows the user to check for and optionally repair a
    damaged file system on a removable disk.

    The user may specify one of the following functions:

    ⊕  Check the file system.  (No repairs are attempted.)

    ⊕  Repair the file system interactively.  The user is informed about each
       instance of damage and asked if it should be repaired.

    ⊕  Repair the file system automatically.  The command applies a standard
       repair to each instance of damage.

    The identical function is available under the sysadm menu:

    sysadm checkfsys

    The checkfsys command may be assigned a password.  See sysadm, the
    admpasswd sub-command.

  CAUTIONS

    While automatic and interactive checks are generally successful, 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 losing data is of particular concern, check the file system first to
    discover if it appears to be damaged.  If it is damaged, use one of the
    repair mechanisms or the file system debugging utility, fsdb.
