Checking the integrity of a RAW fs (on T3 Array)

[aballant]

Hi,

I have a RAW partition which appears to keep getting corrupted.

What is the best way to validate the integrity of this partition, and if also possible validate the configuration of the of the T3 array?

Thanks,
Andrew


cheers,
Andrew

By raw I presume it is a raw database device - not mounted. In this case there is little you can do from Unix as the normal fsck etc do not apply where there is no filesystem. Do you suspect hardware or software is causing this fault?
Most databases have some sort of integrity checking functionality that should be called on a regular basis. If you suspect the hardware check for errors in /var/adm/messages or iostat -en (iostat -EN for more detailed output).

Many thanks, iostat -en shows no errors, so it is back to the app.

cheers,
Andrew
