Fsck - UNIX File System Checker
Fsck Error Conditions
ROOT INODE UNALLOCATED. TERMINATING.
The root inode (usually inode number 2) has no allocate mode bits. This should never happen.
The program will terminate.
NAME TOO LONG F
An excessively long path name has been found. This is usually indicative of loops in the file
system name space. This can occur if the super user has made circular links to directories. The
offending links must be removed (by a guru).
ROOT INODE NOT DffiECTORY (FIX)
The root inode (usually inode number
2)
is not directory inode type.
Possible responses to the FIX prompt are:
YES
replace the root inode's type to be a directory. If the root inode's data blocks are not direc-
tory blocks, a VERY large number of error conditions will be produced.
NO terminate the program.
DUPS/BAD IN ROOT INODE (CONTINUE)
Phase 1 or Phase lb have found duplicate blocks or bad blocks in the root inode (usually inode
number
2)
for the file system.
Possible responses to the CONTINUE prompt are:
YES
ignore the DUPS /BAD error condition in the root inode and attempt to continue to run
the file system check. If the root inode is not correct, then this may result in a large
number of other error conditions.
NO terminate the program.
lOUT OF RANGE 1=1 NAME=F (REMOVE)
A directory entry F has an inode number I which is greater than the end of the inode list.
Possible responses to the REMOVE prompt are:
YES
the directory entry F is removed.
NO ignore this error condition.
UNALLOCATED 1=1 OWNER=O MODE==M SIZE=S MTIME==T Dffi===F
(REMOVE)
A directory entry F has a directory inode I without allocate mode bits. The owner 0, mode
M,
size S, modify time T, and directory name F are printed.
Possible responses to the REMOVE prompt are:
YES
the directory entry F is removed.
NO ignore this error condition.
UNALLOCATED 1==1 OWNER===O MODE==M SIZE==S MTIME==T FILE==F
(REMOVE)
