Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

FILE SYSTEM STATE IN SUPERBLOCK IS WRONG; FIX?

Cause

The fsck(1M) command has just checked a file system, and has determined that the file system is clean. The file system's super block, however, still thinks the file system is "dirty" in some way.

Action

If you believe that the file system is adequately repaired, answer "yes" to mark the file system as clean.

Technical Notes

Different "dirty" file system types are listed in /usr/include/sys/fs/ufs_fs.h, and include FSACTIVE, FSBAD, FSFIX, FSLOG, and FSSUSPEND.
