Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

/dev/rdsk/string: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.

Cause

The system cannot automatically clean (preen) this file system because it appears to be set up incorrectly or is having hard-disk problems. This message asks that you run fsck(1M) manually, since data corruption might already have occurred.

Action

Run fsck to clean the file system in question. For proper procedures, refer to "/dev/rdsk/string: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.".
