1.104: How to fsck the root filesystem

You can run fsck either in maintenance mode or on mounted filesystems.
Try this:

  1. boot from diskette (AIX 3 only --- AIX 4 boot from CD or tape)
  2. select maintenance mode
  3. type /etc/continue hdisk0 exit (replace hdisk0 with boot disk if
     not hdisk0)
  4. fsck /dev/hd4
