VxVM fsck a vxfs filesystem

How to fsck a vxfs filesystem

vxfs contains a filesystem log that will vastly reduce the time required to fsck a filesystem. When checking the filesystem using the command:
# fsck -F vxfs
the log will be the only thing checked.

There are times that the log will check cleanly, but the filesystem is still dirty. To check the filesystem directly, the following options need to be added to fsck:
# fsck -F vxfs -o nolog,full

The nolog option tells fsck to bypass the log and go directly to the filesystem. The full option tells fsck to check the entire filesystem. Using these options will take much longer, but you will be able to fsck the filesystem directly.
