Why do you need to use fsck on a raw device to run a fileserver on Solaris 9?

The only fileserver caveat I know is "don't use it on a logging ufs partition". I don't have any Solaris 9 machines, period, but there's no other reason I know it shouldn't work.

Because on Solaris, the case has always been that fsck(1M) takes the raw (aka "special") device as its argument (on Solaris, these are the /dev/rdsk/* devices rather than the /dev/dsk/* character device counterparts.)

That's want, not need.

Patch fsck to look up the block device in vfstab from the raw device, asnd use it?
