Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

FILE SYSTEM STATE IN SUPERBLOCK IS WRONG; FIX?

Cause

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

Action

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

Technical Notes

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