What's the canonical method for checking ufs file systems on a FreeBSD
7.1/amd64 system after an unscheduled power outage?
How about fsck
Right. I'm asking procedurally how that's invoked -- eg., do I need to
boot into single-user mode, what filesystem(s) do I mount and how, what
switches if any do I use with fsck and so on.
Normally after booting after a power outage fsck will run automatically
as part of the system startup, and will prune the filesystems
automatically. If it finds an error it can't fix without help, it will
drop you into a command line and tell you that there were errors that
require your input to fix.
At that point you can just run fsck {reported filesysem with errors}
ie:
fsck /dev/ad0s1e
Sometimes you may want to use the -y switch, but use it with caution.
man fsck for more info on other options.
