     Name
          fsstat - report file system status


     Syntax
          /etc/fsstat special_file


     Description
          The fsstat command reports on the status of the file  system
          on  special_file.   During  startup, this command is used to
          determine if the file system needs  checking  before  it  is
          mounted.   The fsstat command succeeds if the file system is
          unmounted and appears okay.  For the root  file  system,  it
          succeeds if the file system is active and not marked bad.
